Starting a New Church

Christian Living

“Ralph has the rare ability to get directly to the bottom line, whether he’s teaching or planting churches. This book is the bottom line for church planters. He has made three things clear: planting churches can be done, it is hard work and it is not optional. Ralph subtly, but radically, reinterprets the nature of the Church for this age. Beyond that, he also gives us a desperately needed model of leadership that is passionate, unselfish and aimed at establishing Christ’s kingdom— not its own. Though aimed at church planters, this book needs to be read by anyone serious about pastoral leadership.”
