Leading On Purpose

by Eric Burtness

Overview

The typical Lutheran church participating in the Purpose-Driven campaign is reporting a 20 percent increase in worship, 100 percent increase in small groups, and dynamic new ministries throughout the congregation. Leading on Purpose is a comprehensive examination of the ways hundreds of Lutheran churches have practically and theologically adapted Rick Warren's book and related resources. A must read for those who are seeking to grow their congregations.
