Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus started a movement that has grown like wildfire throughout the past 20 centuries. Author and pastor Andy Stanley brings to life from Scripture and over 25 years of pastoral experience the irresistible nature of this movement known as the Church. Stanley identifies some of the key decisions and strategies that helped the church begin by the power of the Holy Spirit many centuries ago and continues to flourish today. He tells many stories of how God is working today to continue the movement of the church through the examples of North Point Community Church in Atlanta, GA. If you want to know how you can create a movement in your local community that can impact the entire world, Stanley points the way to create irresistible leadership, irresistible environments and an irresistible culture within your church.… (more)

Some people love everything Andy Stanley does. Others are less impressed (to put it kindly). But here’s the take away: Whatever your gut-level response to Andy Stanley, every church leader in America needs to read this book. I don’t say that because I subscribe to every idea and approach that Stanley describes. Because I don’t. However, Deep & Wide starts a conversation that we so desperately need: “What are we doing to reach the lost?” If you’re in church leadership, I hope and pray that this question keeps you up at night. And Stanley’s book, even if you don’t like all of his answers, will begin a conversation that helps you become more intentional about your approach to reaching the lost – whether or not your approach looks anything like North Point's.
