Mostly repeating conventional wisdom

The author mostly reproduces conventional wisdom, now in the imagination of most ministers. The ideas and information are mostly repeating the work of better written books. Additionally, the author might try reading the ebook version and then engaging in significant, additional formatting.

DREAM Big or Go Home

The DREAM Church is not only a good read for pastors to inspire and encourage them, it is a great place to start doing what is spelled out in this book. This book captures the heart of Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Church, presents the proven contextualized example of Brian Moss’ church, and challenges the reader to put the principles into practice rather than copy and paste. This is a home run and must read for all pastors crying out to God for positive purpose driven change and growth in their own churches.
