It's so easy to get caught up in numbers; they are easy to collect and report, and offer us a concrete measure of "how we are doing." But more often than not, numbers don't tell the whole story, or at least not the story that matters most. The question shouldn't be, how many people are attending our church or ministry, but rather, how are we helping draw people deeper into a life of radical commitment to Christ and the church?
This 23-page resource uses assessments, insights, and practical tips from leading ministry experts to help you draw people into deeper commitment to Christ and the church by modeling the radical life to which all Christians are called.

I was looking for 23 pages of suggestions and strategies for those who just may be interested in being part of an open and welcoming fellowship. Don't need sermon material, but info on how to be more attractive to seekers.

You have a problem. I click on Add to Cart and it takes me to the Log In page even though the product page says I am logged in. When I log in again, I am taken to an empty page except for a header and footer. When I go to the specific product page and click on Add to Cart I am returned to the Log In page. I have logged in now five times and still can't make a simple purchase. While God certainly reigns, frustration is a close second :)
