There are many books written about the how to, the nuts and bolts, the process of planting a church. This book takes a different approach. When we planted our first church I must admit I focused more on the process and less on the planter. My constant striving for visible results almost burned me out and put unnecessary strain on my marriage and health.

This book includes both English and Spanish translations.
