J. David Jackson Books

Author Willem Lange once said, "New England is a state of mind, a place where dry humor and perpetual disappointment blend to produce an ironic pessimism that folks from away find most perplexing." The region is indeed unique and different from all other parts of North America. In this short book, the author unveils some of the values and norms that make New England special. Jackson builds on that understanding to show how a contextual approach to ministry is most effective in the region, when strategy meets methodology for spiritual impact.

Church planting is challenging at every stage of ministry! And while this is true at the beginning, the effort to take the plant "to the next level" requires a different set of skills and knowledge. In this workbook, Jackson strives to help you overcome the obstacles you will confront, while improving your church planting capacity through an analysis of your current growth systems. He will assist you in laying the groundwork for three huge keys to permanent and significant impact: staffing, facilities, and multiplication. The author also challenges you to finish strong.
