The Underdog Church-Planter: Being a 1-Star Planter in a 5-Star World Kindle Edition

A celebrity culture, like ours, draws attention to big personalities, to massive ambitions, to “world-changing” strategies. Unfortunately, the same has been true in the church and the world of church planting. This raises some questions: What about the majority of church planters who belong to the normal? What about the ordinary? Is there a place for that guy?
The Underdog Church-Planter takes on these questions. Each author is an underdog pastor speaking to underdog pastors, who plant and replant for God's glory and not their own. Looking to the Bible and offering practical counsel, they remind us all that personality, pedigree, charisma, and talent (or lack thereof) hardly limit God's work. Instead, there is real hope for God to do what He has always done—to use weak and humble underdogs to display His glory.
Whether readers are questioning calling, hungry for change, or suffering skepticism, this book turns attention from fading celebrity to a King beyond compare. It is written that the Church would find freedom in confessing, “We are not enough, but Jesus is.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Humbled, encouraged, enlightened and humbled again!

I have just begun my journey into ministry, this book has done so much to make me look deep into my mirror and ask real questions about what I am doing and why. The biblical truth covered in each chapter not only made me examine the what and the why's but also was full of applicable tips to accomplish the mission. And then made sure to bring me back to my knees (literally) in the last pages to ensure that the message was clear that everything is by, through and for him......thank you to each of the contributors to this book.....I can't wait to read it again.

Yes, I am biased. But, this book is a wonderful encouragement to any church planter who is feeling alone, wondering why they have been called to do such a difficult thing, doesn't know if they can keep going, or just needs a reminder that the God they serve is BIGGER than all of that!

A lot of basics are covered here for those wanting to plant churches. The idea that God uses underdogs gives hope to us all, church planters or not.
