He illustrates how to create a ministry that appeals to many -- casting its net wide -- while helping people mature into a lifelong relationship with Jesus -- leading them to a deeply-rooted faith.If you want to know how you can create a movement in your local community that can make a lasting impact, Stanley points the way by redefining terms, resisting gravity, establishing five faith catalysts, creating irresistible environments and establishing critical rules of engagement within your church.
