'Dan Southerland guides his congregation to renovation, health and growth through a process of step-by-step transition ... If you are pastor or an elder, this manual is for you to use in implementing a purpose driven church... This book is to be studied, not only to be read.' Rick Warren 'I had the privilege of being one of the pastors of a church that went through a transition successfully. In the last nine years, we have had nine big transitions, our attendance multiplied seven-fold and we have built sixteen ministries. I am convinced that God let us learn from the transitions in order to spread the word to others.' Dan Southerland
