Today we're giving away the new book from Dave & Jon Ferguson: EXPONENTIAL: How You and Your Friends Can Start a Missional Church Movement.
Exponential is for anyone who considers the missional challenge of Jesus as inspirational, but not something that’s achievable, or who has heard the challenge of Jesus and is frustrated with how little they’ve done. Jesus gave you this mission because he wants you to actually do it.
Authors Dave and Jon Ferguson communicate a simple strategy that will engage millions of Christ followers and challenge every church leader to become a reproducing follower and leader. Exponential lays out a brief but solid theology for a reproducing strategy, giving practical “how-to’s” for reproducing Christ followers, leaders, artists, groups/teams, venues, sites, churches, and networks of churches.
Here are two excerpts from the book: Reproducing Like Rabbits & Let Pagans Play
