Australian Stuart P. Robinson, has written the best workbook on church planting that I have read
.
“Starting Mission-Shaped Churches” (St. Paul’s Chatswood, 2007), is an extremely practical tool written by someone who is both an experienced Anglican church planter and bishop-elect of Canberra! Its large format makes it easy to handle and inviting to use. It is the kind of resource I wish had been available for use by the team which planned and launched emerge in Montreal five years ago.
Read a review here.
Unfortunately it is not currently available in Canada, I ordered my copy here. Hopefully that will change in the not too distant future!
