Ralph Moore Books

This is an engaging memoir about Northern Michigan; in particular the marvelous countryside and the wonderful people that choose to live in this abundantly verdant area of the State. We recently read an article in the Detroit Free Press stating that our Governor, Rick Snyder, says that "Michiganders are too humble. We don't brag well." Without a doubt we have a lot to brag about and after reading this book, we think you will be convinced that Northern Michigan, has something for just about everyone's taste. It seems there is always so much talk about how beautiful the States are in the far west and northwest, and surely, they are. But, if you truly love the outdoors, and want to enjoy unbelievably, beautiful country throughout the year then "up north" in Michigan's Lower Peninsula is the place to be.

Rising generations of Americans are ignorant of Jesus Christ and have virtually no moral absolutes. So who will evangelize them and whats the best way to go about it? Ralph Moore says the answer is aggressive church planting. But he is emphatic that established churches cant 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 these people. This book will challenge you to consider becoming a church planter, without sugarcoating the problems and practical challenges involved. Moores authoritative, edgy message is based on firsthand experience in overseeing the movement that has planted more that 200 new churches. Starting A New Church 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! If you like this book, be sure to check "How To Multiply Your Church," a guide for an existing congregation that hopes to reproduce. Also by Ralph Moore.

Your church can multiply--that is, it can reproduce itself. Churches in North America are bigger than ever, but their slow rate of growth cannot keep up with population increases. Existing churches simply cannot add enough new believers! The good news is that by multiplying, steadily and strategically planting new churches that, in turn, plant new churches, the global Church creates more of what Ralph Moore calls harvest points. In How to Multiply Your Church, Pastor Moore shows church leaders and pastors why multiplication is the key to growing God's global kingdom in their communities. And he offers them proven methods for implementing multiplication in their existing churches. Countless leaders have found an indispensable resource in Ralph's earlier book, "Starting a New Church" because of Pastor Moore's vast firsthand experience and practical wisdom. "How to Multiply Your Church" is the next leap forward for those who long to see God's kingdom increase.
