Book Reviews of Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations

Book Review: Possibilities
Summary: 4 Stars

This book contains information on how churches can enliven their missions by making improvements in five areas. Since these five areas are discussed by other writers in mission improvement, I have reason to believe this book presents a plan that is worthwhile to attempt. We have just received the kit and are reviewing this to see how it can be coordinated with other educational programs and equipping efforts that we are implementing. Probably what a prospective buyer really wants to know is: "Does this work?" I cannot answer that yet, but it sounds like it is worth trying the program. I would suggest buying this book before buying the kit, so that you have an overview of the whole program, anyway.
