SORRY EVERYONE who's coming to this today. We accidentally re tweeted some old tweets that were stuck in our RSS feed from last week. The contest was over last Thursday. But we'll have another this Thursday! =)

--------------

We're giving away Larry Osborne's book Sticky Church today, Thursday, June 11th!

Larry Osborne is the Senior Pastor of North Coast Church in San Diego. Larry has been around the block and has basically perfected the task of keeping people (making his church "sticky").

This book is a super useful and practical guide to making your church "sticky" - giving you insights like "why some groups jell and others don't" and discussing "Entry Points and Escape Routes"

Here's what Larry says about it:

We've discovered lots of ways to reach people. We've offered the high-powered programs and slick marketing of attractional churches, the cultural savvy of missional churches, and the relational intimacy of small churches. But we've forgotten the importance of keeping people.

And that's the thesis of this book: Our churches need to be stickier.

Stickier churches are healthier churches. They not only draw in spiritual window-shoppers and lead them to Christ; they also grow them up to maturity.

If you're experiencing a high turn-over rate at your church, this is a MUST READ with your staff!

We're giving away 2 copies. Here's how you win:
