A Blueprint for Church Leaders Who Want to Create Irresistible Environments, Define Their Ministry Goals, and Communicate More Effectively with Unbelievers
Grand Rapids, Mich., July 28, 2017 — Every Sunday people walk into church and decide if they will return the following week before the preacher even opens his mouth.
In his bestselling book Deep & Wide, author and pastor Andy Stanley showed church leaders how to create churches unchurched people love to attend. Now Zondervan is pleased to announce the release of Stanley’s new companion guide, Going Deep & Wide (on sale August 1), in which Stanley lays out a blueprint and offers practical steps to help leaders turn up the irresistible in their churches. Each section includes discussion materials that walk readers deeper into the content of Deep & Wide and invites conversations about how to apply what they’ve learned.
Stanley’s next book, Irresistible Faith: Our Chance to Change the World … Again, releases with Zondervan on February 2, 2018. In it, Stanley will help readers to align their personal faith and that of their local church with what Jesus came to unleash in the world. This will change how the church and Christianity are perceived by the unchurched.
