Ignite:
How to Spark Immediate Growth in Your Church
By Nelson Searcy with Jennifer Dykes Henson (Baker)
A 2010 Outreach Resource of the Year

“The most challenging aspect of writing Ignite was making sure that I clearly communicated my heart. When you begin to talk about fast church growth and doubling in a day, skeptics immediately assume that you are only interested in ‘numbers.’ Well, I am interested in numbers, but only because every number represents a soul being reached by the Gospel. My motivation is not to help pastors spark growth in their churches so they can have the biggest church in town and bragging rights, but because that growth–initiated correctly–means that life-change is taking place.” Nelson Searcy
