Publisher's Summary

Every church is driven by some controlling force: tradition, finances, programs, events, personalities, or even the building itself. But author and pastor Dr. Rick Warren, the founder of Saddleback Valley Community Church in California, believes that a church can only be truly healthy if it becomes "purpose-driven": built around the five goals Jesus stated in the New Testament. Dr. Warren's illuminating work outlines a proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to become warmer through fellowship, deeper through discipleship, stronger through worship, broader through ministry, and larger through evangelism. By shifting the focus away from church-building programs, Dr. Warren emphasizes a people-building, inclusive process that will allow your church to grow without compromising its message and mission.

Not The Version You Want!

As good as the story and narration is, this is not the version you want if you are looking for the complete book. This is just a snippet into the book and I feel quite disappointed about that because it doesn't state that clearly anywhere until you are done and then the author says you still have to buy the book after you just BOUGHT the audio book!
