"In recent years a new surge of interest in church planting has been rising around the Christian world. Many excellent books on the subject have appeared. But Creating Communities of the Kingdom stands head and shoulders above the rest in its depth and integrity. It is a stimulating and inspiring challenge to biblical discipleship." - C. Peter Wagner, Professor, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA
David W. Shenk and Ervin R. Stutzman weave into the biblical commentary practical applications gleaned from contemporary theology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and communication theory. Includes questions for review, study, and discussion.
