The Purpose Driven Church

Growth Without Compromising Your Message and Mission

By: Rick Warren

Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Rick Warren believers that in order for a church to be healthy if must become a purpose-driven church by Jesus. Now the founding pastor of Saddleback Church shares a proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow. . .- Warmer through fellowship - Deeper through discipleship - Stronger through worship - Broader through ministry - Larger through evangelism. Discover the same practical insights and principles for growing a healthy church that Rick has taught in seminars to over 22,000 pastors and church leaders from sixty denominations and forty-two countries. The Purpose Driven Church® shifts the focus away from church building programs to emphasizing a people-building process. Warren says, "If you will concentrate on building people, God will build the church."

Great resource

Great resource for every pastor and Christian wishing to build the church and make a difference in advancing God's kingdom.

Disappointed

It is a pity that this wonderful book is not read by the author. Jay Charles is a good narrator, but he is unable to provide the inflections and convey the intended message as well as the author. I recommend the short version of the audiobook for this reasons.

great Church growth resource

this is a great book to help a church wanting to grow and reevaluate the way they do things.

Inspiring

Would you listen to The Purpose-Driven Church again? Why?

I would listen this book again due to full of value added ideas applicable for every church small or big, new or even old.

Well worth your time to invest in this book.

This book points out the obvious things we miss in day to day ministry as well as some things that I have never considered.
