Making a Good Church Great

Making a Good Church Great:
Becoming a Community God Calls His Home

By Steve Sjogren (Regal, 2010)

“The leaders of nearly every church say they want to reach out, but it is difficult to know where to start once that idea is agreed upon. The Great Church is committed to doing basic, low-risk, yet effective ways of reaching out that just about anyone in the congregation can do and will want to do.” –Steve Sjogren, from the book
