Synopsis
A research-based approach to developing more active and involved congregations In this practical resource, well-known and respected researcher Scott Thumma and professional co-writer Warren Bird draw upon new and heretofore unpublished research across a broad range of Protestant churches of all sizes and show how to create more active members., If you're discontent with 20 percent of your flock participating in spiritual development and 80 percent being spectators on the sideline, you need to read this book over and over. It will show you surprising yet practical ways to draw the marginal 80 percent into ministry and spiritual development. The extensive research alone is worth the price of the book. Bill Easum, author, consultant, coach; president of 21st Century Strategies Congregations seeking increased vitality only through reaching new people are missing a far larger group of potential disciples their own less than fully active members. The Other 80 Percent , a book worthy of attention by every church and every pastor, combines solid research with practical methods for churches to take next steps. Lovett H. Weems Jr., distinguished professor of church leadership; director, Lewis Center for Church Leadership (www.churchleadership.com), Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC Through solid research and a heart for the church, Thumma and Bird remind us of the need to focus on maturing the church into the mission of God. This book will help you reengage the people of your church into the work of the ministry. The Other 80 Percent is a helpful resource for any pastor's library. Ed Stetzer, coauthor, Transformational Church , www.edstetzer.com Who isn't interested in seeing more people involved in their church?
