The Big Idea by Pastor Dave Ferguson
ByLike many other bloggers, I got my copy of blogging pastor Dave Ferguson’s new book The Big Idea: Focus the Message-multiply the Impact (The Leadership Network Innovation Series)
I’m looking forward to reading the book and posting some lessons I gleaned from it … as always I welcome “free stuff” especially books like this that will help me do ministry better.
In the meantime, here is some information about the book …
SYNOPSIS:
“Nothing is more dangerous than a single compelling idea that is lived out and nothing is more harmless than lots of little ideas never applied. By creatively communicating one BIG IDEA every week, your church will transform people into genuine Christ followers who live out the mission of Jesus. Less is more! Community Christian Church embraced the BIG IDEA and everything changed. They decided to avoid the common mistake of bombarding people with so many “little ideas” that they suffered overload. They also recognized that leaders often don’t insist that the truth be lived out to accomplish Jesus’ mission. Why? Because people’s heads are swimming with too many little ideas, far more than they can ever apply.”
BENEFITS:
>> The BIG IDEA can help you creatively present one laser-focused theme each week to be discussed in families and small groups.
>> The BIG IDEA shows how to engage in a process of creative collaboration that brings people together and maximizes missional impact.
>> The BIG IDEA can energize a church staff and bring alignment and focus to many diverse church ministries.
>> This book shows how the BIG IDEA has helped Community Christian Church better accomplish the Jesus mission and reach thousands of people at nine locations and launch a church planting network with partner churches across the country.
>> It is part of the Leadership Network Innovation Series published by Zondervan.
