Planting Mission-Shaped Churches Today

"Planting on a significant scale changes the church and changes the world."

It is time to plant mission-shaped churches. What, then, are the key principles? What experience is relevant? New churches are impacting communities and shaping the image of the church in the West, and Martin Robinson draws upon dozens of varied examples to illustrate his case.
