My Review of "God Dreams"

Will Mancini's God Dreams: 12 Vision Templates for Finding and Focusing Your Church's Future is both a roadmap and a toolbox, but even more:  It rejects that one size fits all approach that's so common in church growth studies.  God Dreams is not even a many sizes fit most approach, but rather a "find your size and fit it" approach that is surprisingly refreshing.

With all of the tools, resources, charts, graphs, templates, etc, that Mancini has provided to flesh out all of the ideas with your leadership team, pastors will actually feel like you're stealing.  I know the usual model -- say some stuff in the book, but sell your $5,000 coaching program on every page.  Mancini, though, rejects that approach.  Instead, in the best coaching for church leadership that I've read in a long, long time, Mancini offers particular ways forward for churches who long to find and focus on the dream God has for their particular community.

I can't praise God Dreams too highly.  If you read no other church leadership book for 2016, make Mancini's God Dreams that book.

I received a free copy of this book from B&H Publishing in exchange for my honest review here.
