Triple Blessing! I get excited when new books are written, even more excited when I enjoy reading them and even more, more excited when they are written by someone I know. My good friend, Dion Williams, just released his new book Our Divine Right. At the current time, it is only available through his website […]
I’m not recommending the book Micro-Church Revolution! by Rick Vincent. I’m not sure who would benefit from this book.

A quote from the […]
Milt Rodriguez writes that itinerant workers are needed to securely plant a relational gathering. Starting a gathering is one thing, planting is another. Milt’s book Starting Organic Churches, expresses this concept in detail. Written in 2016, it’s a short book and most of the links are broken. I don’t agree with everything in the book […]
