It: How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep It

How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep It

Plot

"During the early days of Craig Groeschel's ministry, his congregation met in a borrowed two-car garage, with ratty equipment that frequently went haywire during services. But people were still drawn there. Why? They sensed a powerful, life-changing force Groeschel came to call "it." What is "it," and how can you and your ministry get -- and keep -- "it?" Combining in-your-face honesty with off-the-wall humor, this lively book helps believers understand the elements needed to obtain "it." A gift from God, "it" is often bestowed upon those who have seven contributing ingredients. However, warns Groeschel, "it" can be lost when leaders lack a vision or fail to constantly communicate it, or when they don't focus on a limited set of goals. Employing real-life examples and thought-provoking discussion questions, this lively book will challenge church leaders and people in the pews alike to seek out and maintain the spiritual balance that results from experiencing "it" in their lives. The book includes profile interviews with Mark Driscoll, Perry Noble, Tim Stevens, Mark Batterson, Jud Wilhite, and Dino Rizzo." -- inside cover.
