I was converted 34 years ago, through a church plant, and have been a church planter in Brighton since 1996. Here is a book that I could have done with when I started out. At last, someone has written a book detailing the pitfalls that can hinder a church plant from gaining traction.
Dan Steel is eminently qualified to write on church planting, but is not content to depend on his many years of experience. He helpfully enlists the voices of 80 other church planters from different parts of the world who planted churches that subsequently closed or limped along with little visible impact.
