This is not the nal word on church planƟng, but it is an excepƟonally useful introductory one. It is simple without being simplisƟc. Accessible without being predictable. Useful without being boring. InformaƟve without being prescripƟve. Graham Beynon has done us all a huge favour in wriƟng this, and I very much hope it helps provide an eīecƟve way into one of the most pressing and urgent needs of our day – the liƩering of our world with communiƟes of light, a.k.a. churches! Steve Timmis Director of Acts 29 Network in Western Europe
This liƩle book will introduce you to the many diīerent ways that people go about planƟng churches. Given that the Church is God ’s chosen instrument to save the world, what could be more important than learning about how new churches can begin? Adrian Warnock blogger, adrianwarnock.com
ChrisƟans can easily ascribe to Graham Beynon ’s desire: ‘to see God gloried by His gospel being spread and His church growing ’. But we oŌen do not see as He does – the consequence of such a desire: ‘This will inevitably mean more churches and so church planting. ’ And even when we see that inevitability, we oŌen do not see the complexiƟes of the task. Graham has done a great service by teasing out some of the many issues involved in church planƟng. I warmly commend this book to all who would like to follow through on the inevitable outcome of their evangelisƟc desire. Phillip Jensen Dean of St Andrew ’s Cathedral, Sydney, Australia
