African American Church Growth: 12 Principles of Prophetic Minitry

Rating:
Summary: A much needed book for anyone who wants a prophetic church.
Review: This book is a a much needed text that speaks to the African- American congregation. Dr. Stewart uses the twelve prophetic principles as a foundation that will help the leadership to strategically develop a growing congregation to meet the needs of its community. I have found that the book uses a sound theological foundation and good scholarship. This is not a how to book. This book can be used as a bible study, retreat study and for long range planning. This book is not a church growth book. It is a book that will help the church to discern their gifts for ministry. This book guides us through all the stages it takes to develop a growing and effective congregation . I highly suggest this book for all church leaders both lay and clergy.
