Book of Church Growth: History, Theology, & Principles

Rating:
Summary: Church Growth Compilation
Review: Ranier does the church a favor when he pulls together in this volume the history, theology and principles of the movement. After each chapter is additional suggested reading list.

One can easily and concisely in this work see the development and emphases of this movement. Now somewhat outdated (1993 publication), nevertheless the info here presented is worthwhile to those desiring to pursue the topic.

The far stronger and longer section is principles, interestingly enough set apart from the theology. Here one can see the focus of the movement. Questionable theology can only lead to suspect principles and application.
