One of the most thorough books on church planting I have ever read is Aubrey Malphurs book Planting Growing Churches. Reasons why I like his book: It gives a comprehensive look at the church planting process from the preparation stage to the reproduction stage of another church. It has a good balance of general principles [...]

  I just finished reading Missionary Methods by Roland Allen.  This was a book that my pastor recommended to me a long time ago, but I just finished it.  I really enjoyed the book, especially because there are many helpful insights into how Paul was able to establish indigenous churches in such a short amount [...]

Loving one another while separated through kindness, patience, and all [...]
