The Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College has just published a new book on church planting. Extending God’s Kingdom: Church Planting Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is a compilation of chapters written by church planters and missiologists. Over the years, these chapters appeared as articles in various volumes of the Evangelical Missions Quarterly.
Laurie Fortunak Nichols, A. Scott Moreau, and Gary Corwin have done an excellent job editing this book. The work consists of six sections: 1) The Church Planter; 2) Biblical Guidelines for Church Planting; 3) The Church Plant; 4) Church Planting Strategy; 5) Partnership and Church Planting; and 6) Case Studies.
The editors sent me a pdf of the first 16 pages of the book that includes my Foreword (don’t let this keep you from purchasing the book), Table of Contents, and the Introduction. I have linked this document HERE to give you an idea of the contents of the book.
Let me strongly encourage you to get a copy of this book. It contains the “best of the best” of EMQ’s articles on church planting.
