Using examples from his personal ministry, Humphrey shows how to use flames of momentum without getting burned or burned out. He uses images of a wood-burning stove and principles of momentum gleaned from scriptural examples to help church leaders overcome problems of inertia and move the church forward into a pattern of growth and celebration. Humphrey incorporates his more than twenty years of experience in congregational growth-both spiritual and numerical-as inspiration, guidance, and project ideas for sparking new flames, nurturing the fire, and banking the coals.
