Endorsements for Six-Word Lessons to Discover Missional Living (round 2)

[featured_image]More outstanding endorsements for Six-Word Lessons to Discover Missional Living. When I started working on this project, I hoped that it would help church planters and church planting teams to align with Jesus’ mission in their neighborhood and community.

As I continued to write and began to share this book with others, it became obvious that this wasn’t just about planting churches; it’s about every believer aligning with Jesus’ mission and message.

But don’t just take my word for it — read what others have to say about it!

Here’s a quick summary of the book (from the back cover):

Every Christian is sent by Jesus to “be Jesus” to everyone everywhere. That’s what Missional Living is all about. It’s aligning your heart with Jesus’ missionary heart. Six-Word Lessons to Discover Missional Living gives you practical ways to help you incarnationally display the gospel to those around you, make disciples who make disciples, and multiply churches all over the place.

Here’s the second round of 7 Endorsements:

Dave DeVries has offered a timely, insightful and valuable gift to church planters and leaders everywhere. His insights have been hammered out on the anvil of personal and life-tested experiences and observations. His methodology is uniquely instructional, “less is more.” His heart and passion to coach leaders and expand Christ’s Kingdom through multiplying churches seeps through the pages. His creativity will help stretch your leadership capacities. His book is a keeper and his commitment to help us grow is a valuable baton to pass on often!

– Roland Niednagel, G-ANGeL (Global Academy for Next Generation Leaders)

In Six-Word Lessons to Discover Missional Living, Dave DeVries shares with us nuggets of wisdom that we can chew on daily. Wisdom that gives us focus and practical help in making disciples of Jesus out of non-disciples. Wisdom is knowledge applied, and it is evident that Dave is sharing from his applied knowledge.

– JR Woodward, Co-founder of Kairos Los Angeles, Activist, Blogger and editor of ViralHope

If you could find a single piece of advice that could make the difference between good and great, you would eagerly seek for it. This little book by Dave DeVries has not one but several of those pieces of wisdom that, taken to heart and implemented, could launch a church plant in an exceptional rather than mediocre direction. One example: “What is your goal? Is it to start church services or to make disciplemakers?” As Dave says, “Your answer impacts everything you so.” Take this readable book, review it often, and do the exceptional.

– Bob Rasmussen, OC International, Director of US Ministries

Dave knows how to approach you “the church planter” and engage you in asking the right questions! This is what sets him and this book apart from the many how to books and approaches on church planting. You will be personally challenged to think outside the box as a means to develop the box [Ministry] that God is calling you to!

– Sam Gallucci, Sr Pastor of The Harbor and CEO of The Kingdom Center

We seem to be overrun with information these days, so it is refreshing to find a book full of really good stuff in digestible bits that can be pondered and contemplated throughout a demanding day. Church planters will profit from the insights in this book.

– Rick Meigs, Friend of Missional and The Blind Beggar
