From the Back Cover

"This is a book to get you started on the road to growth. You
may not like it all. You may not agree with it all. Your experience might
be different. But this is a book you can't ignore. If you've ever been
stuck on the hard shoulder, and sighed with relief to see the breakdown van
arriving, then you'll have an idea of how helpful this book might be." -
Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Reading

"If you want your church to grow there are few better places to start than
this. It's based on thorough research, it's very readable, and it's well
applied. Moreover, it's not prescriptive; rather it helps church members to
tap their existing experience, while learning from other churches and, with
God's help, discover their own church's road to growth". - John Coles,
Director, New Wine
