Dear Titus: Letter on Church Planting

by Nate Pckowicz, Tom Ascol, Carl Hargrove

Church planting and revitalization is a unique ministry. Filled with its own challenges, pastors and church leaders have often struggled in their labors. Thankfully, the apostle Paul imparted his wisdom to his young disciple Titus through a brief, power-packed letter full of encouragement and instruction. In like manner, this collection of writings from seasoned pastors, planters, and church revitalizers contains hundreds of years of combined wisdom and experience. Old and new pastors alike will be edified and spurred on by this compilation of wise counsel and godly instruction. Dear Titus serves as a helpful companion for any church planter or leader at any stage of their ministry.

Really good.

[Jordan Howe · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is an excellent resource for the aspiring pastor/planter or anyone in the field who needs encouragement. These letters are written to a fictional pastor and are full of Biblical truth from God honoring pastors who have stood the test of time. A great pairing with the book Dear Timothy from Founders Ministries.

[Jerry Riendeau · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is reacting against church planting books and strategies that are overly pragmatic and formulaic. I believe it is an overreaction that ignores the unique needs to church plants. For instance one of the writers encourages church planters to spend 30 hours a week preparing a sermon.
