From Our Doorsteps: Developing a Ministry Plan That Makes Sense
garythefowler avatar reviewed on + 65 more book reviews


Over the decades, as a local pastor "in the trenches," I read dozens of books on church revitalization and such, went to many conferences, got trained in a couple of methods and used them in consulting, etc. Rick Morse's book was the most useful of all of that. Of course some of the included steps can be found elsewhere; after all, what works, works. But Rick's sequencing and overall approach were the most sensible, realistic, and applicable I ever found.
Rick Morse was a local pastor, founding pastor of an effective congregation, and longtime head of new church starts for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)-- and a great guy, too! Maybe retired by now, but not idle, I'm sure.
