Word-Centered Church: How Scripture Brings Life and Growth to God's People

It s a question hundreds of pastors ask every day:What is the best way to grow?

A lot of books give a lot of answers, but the best one comes from Scripture. Word-Centered Church brings that answer into sharp focus. Written by Jonathan Leeman, editorial director for the reputable ministry 9Marks, Word-Centered Church offers a thorough treatment of one of God s greatest concerns: growing His people and growing His church.

As simple as the concept may seem, it s one that many churches miss, and to their own detriment. Because when churches center everything they do on God s Word when the pulpit ministry gives direction to every aspect of the church s life growth happens God s way. God s Word is what creates the church, and it s what sustains it, too.

Theological and practical, Word-Centered Church focuses on how the church hears, responds to, discusses, implements, and is transformed by Scripture. It s not about high-octane production, superstar personalities, or postmodern entreaties, but stuff that is really old, really good, and really powerful.

Word-Centered Church is the ministry-model book that churches need, because it advances the model God designed. For anyone who wants to grow or help others grow, Word-Centered Church is indispensable.
