Summary: A Guide to Assimilation in the Local Church
Review: This book is very practical and should be a part of the tool kit of every pastor. It is obvious that its content have been deevloped in the crucible of ministry experience. The book focuses on what it takes to bring people from the wider community to developing them to be effective kingdom people. It plots a comprehensive assimilaiton strategy. When one reads this book, one sees the big picture of how assimilation is related to all other aspects of church life.

The structure of the book is also very helpful. Each chapter is introduced by a story which identifies a certian principle in assimilation. The chapter then moves to developing that principle. At the end of the chapter the reader is called to make it practical by answering a few questions that are designed to help a church move in the direction of developing an effective assimilaiton ministry.

With assimilaiton being one of the greatest needs in church life today, this book is a must read for any church that desires to grow.
