At Calibrate, we desire for church planters to be as prepared as they can possibly be for the journey of church planting. You didn’t go to seminary to learn to file taxes. It is our belief that Sprout will be able to quickly help you understand the business process in planting a church. We will walk through everything from domain names, marketing your church on Google to setting up your bank account. We know you have limited amounts of time so we have condensed this book to be an incredibly quick, yet impactful read that you can revisit frequently as you plant your church.
Ben Brown was born in Reading, England. He struggled through school academically. Diagnosed with dyslexia meant being removed from class to attend ‘remedial” lessons. Ben did not enjoy reading and writing, and left school early to work with his father as a builder. It wasn’t until his mid-twenties that Ben persisted in teaching himself to read — and finally read his first novel.
Ben emigrated to Perth, Western Australia in 1990 where he now lives with his wife Michelle and two teenage children, Chelsea and Zac.
He planned his first novel each day while working as a bricklayer, to pass the hours. His love of scientific facts, futuristic possibilities, and fast-paced action infects his plots and writing style.
