By returning to what we once had...We can recover what we once enjoyed. In the early centuries Christianity was an explosive, viral movement that spread by word of mouth. Persecution could not stop it. In fact, it often helped to spread it. But today, the gospel is no longer spreading like wildfire throughout the Western world. Slowly, Christianity has morphed into something much different...a stable institutionalized religion that no longer grips us with the excitement and spirituality of the early years. Ross Rohde believes that this excitement and passion can be recaptured. In Viral Jesus he uses examples from the Bible and today to explore how we can return to our roots and once again enjoy the excitement, simple spirituality, and explosive growth of early Christianity.

Would it surprise you to know that New Testament scholars, missiologists, and church-planting authorities cannot agree on how to define tentmaking, whether or not the church should be practicing it today, or even why Paul did it in the first place? It’s true. In Tentmaking, the widespread confusion and overall disagreement within the church regarding Paul’s self-support are exposed. Commonly held assumptions are removed from their entrenched positions and myths are debunked. In their place, Tentmaking offers an unadorned yet powerfully convincing presentation of Paul’s own self-disclosed reasons for intentionally selecting to support himself in some ministry contexts, but not others. This well-researched book provides answers to crucial questions that currently surround tentmaking, as well as a practical guide intended to lead to the recovery of biblical tentmaking within the church. Readers who pick up this book should be prepared to embark on an engrossing journey that will reward them with clarity on the often-misunderstood topic of Paul’s tentmaking.

The church was meant to multiply! For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them (Matt. 18:20). Are you interested in planting a church that has exponential impact? If so, you will be partnering with God to build something that is alive, vital, and majestic. There is a parallel between planting a church and planting a seed in the ground. In Planting Reproducing Churches, Dr. Elmer Towns explains Gods strategy of multiplication as it pertains to planting local church communities. By understanding that every living organism can reproduce a multitude of itself from just one seed, you will see how one church can reproduce itself into an established denomination, large network, or thriving multi-site campus, all carrying the unique DNA of that local body. Read this book and learn the answers to practical questions such as: Who can plant a church? Should you start a church in your hometown? What type of authority should be followed in a church plant? Why is the vision statement essential? How do you choose a name for the church? How do you raise funds for a church plant? Get ready to receive strategies on how to plant life-giving, flourishing, reproducing churches that have the potential to complete the Great Commission in our lifetime!
