You constantly ask youself, «How do I make my
church grow?». However Rick Warren, the founding pastor of the well-known
«Saddleback», one of the largest churches in America, believes
that we need to be asking ourselves a different question: «What prevents
my church from growing?», because in a healthy church growth is a
natural life process. Rick Warren is convinced that for healthy growth the
church fellowship needs to be driven by God-given purposes, building on
the foundation of the five New Testament goals set for the Church by Jesus
Himself.

The author of the book, Christian Schwarz, describes
practical factors promoting church growth and development which were discovered
as the result of an international research held in the end of the 20th century.
Over 1000 churches from 32 countries on all the five continents took part
in the research project. The research results bring us to an important conclusion:
churches develop and grow not in accordance with the most widely spread
teachings on church growth, but quite contrary to them.

The purpose of the author of this book is to produce a real revolution in our
hearts.

Celebration of God's Love
Format 170x240,
288 pages,
ISBN 5-88930-019-0
This manual is not written for pastors. Why? Because
church services are meant to be celebrated by regular church members,
- it sounds so simple yet so radically different. The more regular parishioners
are rooted in their love for God, the better our worship services are
going to be. In this book you will find about a hundred practical tips
on holding and leading church services. The main purpose of the author
is to encourage a breakthrough towards a new type of church service.
