This book can leadto new levels of engagement for your church." --John Ortberg, author and pastor, Menlo Park PresbyterianChurch "Mel Lawrenz's vision of a local church that actually reflectsthe wholeness and beauty of God as it engages with the Lord, oneanother, and the community is a much-needed call back to God'soriginal Plan A - a plan that has too often been cast aside inthe name of specialization, church growth, and expediency." --Larry Osborne, North Coast Church, and author, Sticky Churchand Spirituality for the Rest of Us "Wow! This book is for every Christian leader who wants to movetheir church from a narrow self-focus to active engagement in theworld with all the resources and possibilities of heaven." --Mike Slaughter, Ginghamsburg Church "While Mel Lawrenz's 'four kinds of engagement' aims atcongregational application, it also creates a template thatindividual Jesus-followers can use for self-evaluation of what itmeans to be the church today. The final 'dynamics' section is worththe price of admission for church leaders." --Reggie McNeal, author, The Present Future and MissionalRenaissance "Having known Mel Lawrenz for thirty-five years in variouscapacities as student, intern, colleague, and eventual successor assenior pastor of Elmbrook Church, I can testify to his keen mind,his profound respect for and knowledge of history, hisforward-looking curiosity, and his undoubted communication gifts.Add all these to his many years as a seasoned practitioner ofchurch ministry, and the result is this very helpful book, WholeChurch." --Stuart Briscoe, author, Flowing Streams and broadcaster,Telling the Truth
