Deep Roots: A Biblical and Theological Framework for Church Planting

by Michael A. Milton

Does Jesus of Nazareth need a good publicist? Could the Great Commission use a little marketing help? In his latest book, theologian, educator, and pastor, Dr. Michael A. Milton (Ph.D., Wales; MPA, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) contends that church planting is “a preacher on fire with the reality of the risen Christ.” Drawing more that fifty principles for church planting directly from his exposition of St. Paul’s message to Pastor Timothy at Ephesus (1&2 Timothy) Milton advances a Biblically faithful, vocationally satisfying, and practically effective framework for the obedient response to “make disciples” through the “parish” church. Fortified with careful exegesis, strong scholarly support, and expanded with “questions for reflection,” Deep Roots is the perfect study for churches planting churches or ministers and teams called to participate in God’s mission in the world today.
