Signs of Life (2nd Edition): Nurturing Spiritual Growth in Your Church

Signs of Life offers a clear-eyed exploration of the challenges facing congregations and invites us, in response, to take up those practices known to awaken spiritual vitality. These best practice principles--signs of life--have been proven across fifteen years of work with over four hundred congregations.

Building on the experiential wisdom of RenewalWorks, this book is free from any illusion of a quick fix or that change will come from programmatic solutions. Instead, Signs of Life uncovers the chief catalysts of spiritual growth and unfolds the concrete practices that build among our leaders and in our congregations the culture of discipleship. Renewal works, and it can be found in these pages.

Expanded second edition includes updated perspectives from RenewalWorks, a "Quick Start" guide to help congregations get moving, and a comprehensive eight session small group study guide.Read less
