Synopsis

Rising generations of Americans are ignorant of Jesus Christ and have virtually no moral absolutes.    So who will evangelize them and whats the best way to go about it? Ralph Moore says the answer is aggressive church planting. But he is emphatic that established churches cant do the job alone.    Why? Because new churches can better meet the needs of each new generation by presenting biblical truth in the cultural context that best reaches these people. This book will challenge you to consider becoming a church planter, without sugarcoating the problems and practical challenges involved.     Moores authoritative, edgy message is based on firsthand experience in overseeing the movement that has planted more that 200 new churches. Starting A New Church not only covers everything you need to know from the ground up, but it also reveals why church planting may be the most dynamic movement in evangelism!    If you like this book, be sure to check "How To Multiply Your Church," a guide for an existing congregation that hopes to reproduce. Also by Ralph Moore.

Review

Wisdom in print...this book works! ...I wish he'd written it years before I struggled through my first years of planting Saddleback. Reading it could have spared me a lot of mistakes. --Rick Warren

The world needs Christ, and the method God has given us to accomplish the task is church planting. Ralph Moore...describes in practical detail how anyone can be involved in this exciting challenge. --Tony Dale, Editor: House 2 House Magazine

Ralph Moore has been a real hero to me...With so many theoretical "how-to" books available from people who have never done it, Ralph is a breath of fresh air. He doesn't just talk about this stuff, he lives it and he proves it! --Neil Cole

Vintage Ralph Moore--profoundly thoughtful yet simply expressed; full of revelation and practical applications; believable, doable and, therefore, immensely challenging. --Daniel A. Brown, pastor The Coastlands--Aptos, CA
