Customer comments on this selection.
 Unworthy of Praise
While I had high hopes for this book and was looking for quality guidance in starting a church, what I found was repetitive drivel. Over and over again, the advice this book gives is "Pray. God will show you the way" Beyond that, all advice here could be found around the web with a simple search. If you are looking for practical and sound advice for starting a church, keep searching. I know I am!
 great for anyone considering starting a new church
This book is so helpful for anyone who is in just about any stage of planting a church. Someone just starting to think about whether this is something they want to do or someone who is already in the process woudl benifit from this book. I just wish that I had read it earlier.
 a good guide
i'm not much on following formulas which is why liked "launch" by nelson searcy and kerrick thomas. i just finished it after a long "on again / off again" reading of it. the book is a good resource on planting churches. there was a wealth of what not to do and what to do within it's pages. thankfully it walked the fine line of offering helpful advice without jumping into the egotistical mindset of telling you exactly that you should plant the church in just this manner. i like it when people acts as guides rather than experts. i am presently using and will continue to use a good bit of what i read within "launch." if you believe GOD my be calling you to plant a church the book is well worth your time.
The church planting manual for the 21st century!
This is the most comprehensive book on Church Planting I have read. I launched Bridge Church at Perry n January 2007 and followed many of the practices that Nelson outlines. Exactly one year later we are averaging 175 people! Of course that blessing is of God, not Nelson and he will tell you that.
This is the manual for church planting. Get this book if you are going to plant a church or if you have planted, it will help you in post-launch.

I could not put it down
This was one of the best books that I have read! I got the book on Thursday, finished it on Friday. I could not put the book down, because it kept my attention the whole time. We are in the process of planting a church and I am a Church Consultant. Therefore, I do a lot of research on church planting. I must admit that I was a little skeptical, because of the emphasis of some books on numbers and not souls, and also I was concerned about doing gimmics to get people, but with in the end having no sustainability. This book has been the most helpful and the most practical book that I have read pertaining to this subject. Most books are filled with theory and not priciple, and with oppinions and not systems. If you are wondering about a church plant strategy that will be beneficial to the future and sustainability to your church, this is the book for you. Searcy and Thomas have givin us a great treat in this book and has shown us a more practical, comprehensive, systems apporoach to church plant. It was worth every dime spent and every minute invested:)
