About this Item

Paperback. Foreword by John MacArthur. Do pastors and church leaders today really need a wake-up call to return to the apostolic priorities of preaching and prayer as the primary means to accomplish church growth? In an age in which the church has become infatuated with pragmatism, success models, sociological methodologies, management techniques and marketing, the answer is a resounding "Yes." The goal of this book is to exhort and encourage pastors and church leaders to escape the full court press of expediency and to restart as offense of biblical priorities and methods. The church will not impact society until she regains her love for preaching and a no-compromise commitment to sound, biblical exposition.The value of this book is that it not only shows us where the problems are but gives us a healthy reminder of the essentiality of prayer and preaching. The goal of this book is to exhort and encourage pastors and church leaders to escape the full court press of expediency and to restart an offense of biblical priorities and methods."Dave Eby has put his finger on something very crucial, namely the absence of any emphasis on preaching in the Church Growth Movement.
