Better Than Brunch

Evangelism & Missions

“In Better Than Brunch, Byassee and Lockhart share the treasures they discovered in interviews and site visits with church leaders and congregations in Cascadia. These treasures took the form of eight patterns, all of which are relevant to anyone in church leadership in Cascadia. Particularly helpful were the questions at the end of each chapter that congregations can use to begin their own treasure hunt as they seek to strengthen their ability to be healthy, faithful, and effective local Christian communities. I recommend the use of the book as a part of a facilitated process in churches that want to do a thorough examination of their common life and purpose.”

So Fill Our Imaginations

Preaching & Worship

“What I love about Mark Taylor’s book is that it gives us both a look at a variety of sermons preached in different formats . . . and a peek into the preacher’s rich world of context, influence by others, and self-discovery along the way. Such an interesting and satisfying read!”
