NEW ENGLAND CULTURE & Ministry Dynamics: Where You Serve Makes a Difference in How You Serve

Author Willem Lange once said, "New England is a state of mind, a place where dry humor and perpetual disappointment blend to produce an ironic pessimism that folks from away find most perplexing." The region is indeed unique and different from all other parts of North America. In this short book, the author unveils some of the values and norms that make New England special. Jackson builds on that understanding to show how a contextual approach to ministry is most effective in the region, when strategy meets methodology for spiritual impact.

Dr. J. David Jackson currently serves as the Church Planting Director/Strategist for the Baptist Convention of New England. He has served in ministry within the region off and on since 1977. He is a D.Min. graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and resides with his wife in Marlborough, Massachusetts. This is his fifth publication dealing with church planting, revitalization, and church ministry.
