Church Planting is for Wimps by Mike McKinley

"How God uses messed-up people to plant ordinary churches that do extraordinary things" is the subtitle of this book and sums it up pretty well.  Mike McKinley shares how God led him and his wife to a church that was in desperate need of revitalization.  He shared things he learned and tries to encourage others that are being used by God in planting or revitalizing churches.


I requested to review this book because my husband is a pastor / church planter and we thought it might be a good read.  First of all, if you are looking for a detailed how-to book, this is not the one we'd recommend.  However, if you are looking for encouragement from someone that would understand some of the difficulties you may be facing in this type of ministry then this a helpful book.  It was very refreshing to be reminded to be faithful in the things that are most important and let God do His work.  (Crossway provided me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair critique).
