This book is not a theoretical book. It is a book from experience and years of success. This is a practical book that asks seemingly simple questions but that ultimately leads you to a deeper understanding of what you are attempting to accomplish.All but 2 chapters are entitled as questions. The purpose is to get the potential planter to look deep into themselves, answer some very real life questions, and get moving with your dream of planting a church.I found the best chapter had to do with budgeting. Chapter 8 makes the reader to look not only at money but to look at money as a vehicle to being effective. The budget can simply be divided into 2 sections: Opportunity Budget and Operational Budget. This chapter alone is worth buying the book.This book is a breathe of fresh air!
This book is a MUST READ!!

It offers the practical how-to's instead of endless pages of philosophies, etc..I recommend this book as a must-have for any church planter, trust me you will not be disappointed!
