Planting Churches: a framework for practitioners

Reviewed by Emma Maggs.

This book would be of great help to anyone involved in or contemplating church planting, and a stimulating read for interested observers.  Stuart Murray argues the case for church planting today before getting stuck in to the important questions that need to be asked before any church planting venture - why, how, where, when, what and who.  With the benefit of many years’ experience of church planting, both as a practitioner and as an overseer, Murray is aware of the many potential pitfalls, possible solutions and, most importantly, the right questions to ask in order to begin making prayerful decisions.  In this book he seeks to provoke discussion, thought and prayer, without providing any simplistic answers or formulas.
