I’m excited my new book!  It has now been released and there are many things that really excite me about it.  This is very different from any book I’ve ever written:

First, it’s written for everyday ordinary disciples - not preachers or just church leaders.  It’s a “missional” book for everyone and what a missional disciple looks like. 

Second, it’s real live stories of our people and what they are doing in the inner-city all the way to Vietnam and beyond.  So it isn’t theory, ideas, or challenges of what could be - it is what is and what people are actually doing.

Third, it tells the whole story both from my angle and the angle of our people at NorthWood how we all became involved and how our church became highly missional. 

Fourth,  it ties the Great Commission to the Great Disciple - Abraham!  It also explains how local congregations internationally are connecting to see it’s fulfillment. 

Fifth, it gives steps at the end of each chapter - so that by the time you finish reading the book, if you follow all the steps at the end of the chapter each person can have their own action plan of how to use their jobs and/or interest to impact the world.

Sixth, it explains how your job is your primary ministry tool - and how to use it. 

Seventh, it goes to the core of what it means to be a disciple - which is to hear and obey and what that looks like.

Eighth, it deals with the difference between living in society in covenant versus contract. 

Ninth, it helps to explain the concept of religious freedom beyond religion to freedom of thought and why that matters as the first of human rights.

Tenth, it deals with Islam and other religions and how to engage in a radically different way than the church has the past 200 years. 

The book basically looks at the 21st century and projects forward from practical action that’s being done right now in a local church and what it will look like to see the Great Commission fulfilled.

Some people are telling me this is my best book yet - simple, clear, with practical steps and stories that anyone can …
