A Biblical Church Planting Manual: From the Book of Acts

by Marlin Mull

The four gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - present Jesus Christ, God Himself, breaking into human history.... The story of Jesus and the early church should not end. Jesus Christ laid the foundation for the church through His life, death, and resurrection as recorded in the four gospels.... The followers of Jesus Christ then continued His work by spreading the gospel through preaching and teaching and the planting of new churches.... To continue the work begun by Christ and His disciples, new church planting should be at the top of our list of priorities, as it was in theirs. From the Prologue

This is a concise book, and seemingly simple, but there are good truths to be found. As someone who hasn't read other books on church planting, it is a good introduction, I feel. I don't agree with some of the extremes of Mull's opinions, but I appreciate the passion God has given him in this calling.

This book was a required reading assignment for a church planting class that I am helping to teach. It comes out of the Weslayan denomination and written by their Director of Evangelism and Church Growth. It is poorly written and covers topics that have been discussed thousands of times in thousands of other books. It breaks no new ground. Even though it is mercifully short, I do not recommend this volume. There are far, far better writings on the subject.
