The Purpose Driven Church

Growth Without Compromising Your Message and Mission

De: Rick Warren

Narrado por: Jay Charles, Rick Warren

Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Rick Warren believers that in order for a church to be healthy if must become a purpose-driven church by Jesus. Now the founding pastor of Saddleback Church shares a proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow. . .- Warmer through fellowship - Deeper through discipleship - Stronger through worship - Broader through ministry - Larger through evangelism. Discover the same practical insights and principles for growing a healthy church that Rick has taught in seminars to over 22,000 pastors and church leaders from sixty denominations and forty-two countries. The Purpose Driven Church® shifts the focus away from church building programs to emphasizing a people-building process. Warren says, "If you will concentrate on building people, God will build the church."

Great resource

Great resource for every pastor and Christian wishing to build the church and make a difference in advancing God's kingdom.

Disappointed

It is a pity that this wonderful book is not read by the author. Jay Charles is a good narrator, but he is unable to provide the inflections and convey the intended message as well as the author. I recommend the short version of the audiobook for this reasons.

great Church growth resource

this is a great book to help a church wanting to grow and reevaluate the way they do things.

Inspiring

Would you listen to The Purpose-Driven Church again? Why?

I would listen this book again due to full of value added ideas applicable for every church small or big, new or even old.

Well worth your time to invest in this book.

This book points out the obvious things we miss in day to day ministry as well as some things that I have never considered.

a must-read for any church leader

Would you consider the audio edition of The Purpose-Driven Church to be better than the print version?

I like using both at the same time

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

it would be impossible for me to listen to all of it at once. there's far too much information to process all at once

Any additional comments?

this book is so good all the leaders in my church are reading it now and I'm reading it for the second time.

A insight on church

I learned a lot about what should be going on in my church, and how I can help effect change. What had a great impact on me was, not the ideas oh, but how they were implemented. a must-read for anyone who wants to give more, and get more out of church

Very helpful. Well explained.

Rick cleared up points of confusion about the way his church is organized. Thanks, Rick

Want to build a church?

This book is full of great resources and arguments for how and what to build in a great, purpose-driven church.

The performance is also pleasing, and the narrative lends itself well to audio. Except that I want to take notes every 5 minutes!

Gotta Be one of the BEST book ever written!!!!!

This has to be one of the BEST books ever written!!!!! I wish I read it years ago. Thank God for Pastor Rick Warren.
