CHURCH HEALTH LOGBOOK (with Assessment)

The Church Recovery Guide

Written during the COVID-19 crisis, this book encourages us that now is not the time for church leaders to cause further disruption, but to help us see a stable path through it. That’s where we’ll find not just the ability to recover, but the ability to adapt and thrive, no matter what comes next.

Available in print, ebook and audiobook.

100 Days to a Healthier Church

This is a book that’s easy to read, but challenging to put into practice. It outlines a path to health and wholeness for any church that is willing to put everything but the gospel of Jesus on the line for the sake of the congregation’s survival.

Available in print, ebook and audiobook.

The Grasshopper Myth

This is the book that started it all.
