Planting
Growing Churches for the 21st Century, 2nd Edition |

Pouring
New Wine Into Old Wineskins |
|
| In this book, Dr. Malphurs
classifies church members into four groups: early adopters,
middle adopters, late adopters and never adopters. Church
members may resist change and have a difficult time responding
to new ideas. Church leaders are challenged to think through
the dynamics of ministry and identify their strengths and
weaknesses as change agents. Understanding people and biblical
principles for renewal can pave the way to implementing a
five-stage revitalization process. Worksheets to help in
the process are included. |

Strategy
2000 |
|
| The real need of the
majority of evangelical churches in America today is for
a strategy that can be adapted and shaped to the needs of
each local congregation. Utilizing their best strengths and
insights, Dr. Malphurs demonstrates how to develop a strategy
for the changing needs of the church in the 21st century.
Strategy 2000 provides a step-by-step guide for developing
a strategy in the local church and parachurch organization
along with sample strategies from individual churches, parachurch
ministries and denominations. |

Values-Driven
Leadership |
|
| This book is a pioneering
work designed to help church and parachurch leaders understand
the cutting-edge concept of organizational core values. Every
ministry organization has a set of core values that guides
what the ministry seeks to accomplish. Read this book, not
only to understand the importance of core values, but also
to take concrete steps to spell out one's core values in
a credo or value statement. Includes questions after each
chapter, sample credos, two core value audits, and a readiness-for-change
inventory. |

Vision
America |
|
| This book adds the
Great Commission perspective to the arguments regarding needs-based
ministry models. The church dare not misrepresent the gospel,
but the church also dare not call out to a 21st century nation
with a 1950's voice. Vision America stresses redirection
of the Great Commission to the local community level. Dr.
Malphurs makes his appeal personal and compelling by including
profiles of the lives of typical individuals who need to
be evangelized. Chapter questions and study aids will help
you internalize his points. |
