Rising generations of Americans are ignorant of Jesus Christ and have virtually no moral absolutes. So who will evangelize them, and what's the best way to go about it? Ralph Moore says the answer is aggressive church planting. But he is emphatic that established churches can't do the job alone. Why? Because new churches can better meet the needs of each new generation by presenting biblical truth in the cultural context that best reaches those people.
This book will challenge you to consider becoming a church planter, without sugarcoating the problems and practical challenges involved. Moore's authoritative, edgy message is based on firsthand experience in overseeing the movement that has planted more than 200 new churches. This book not only covers everything you need to know from the ground up, but it also reveals why church planting may be the most dynamic movement in evangelism.

Ralph Moore is senior pastor of Hope Chapel Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii and founder of the Hope Chapel in Hermosa Beach, California. His ministry now spans 100 churches in the United States, Japan and the South Pacific. Pastor Moore travels extensively, teaching pastors and church leaders biblical models for spreading the gospel and planting churches. He and his wife, Ruby, have two children, Carl and Kelly.
