A moving story, told in Ken Blanchard's appealing parable style, of how a local church can rise above mediocrity to become a beacon of love in their community.
In this newly revised version, Lead like Jesus for Churches (formerly The Most Loving Place in Town) is the story of two men; a disillusioned church elder and a gifted young pastor, who recognize that their church has lost sight of its number one priority: loving God and each other. They begin a search—independently at first—to recapture their lost love and then together lead their fellowship in a successful discovery of the secret to becoming a beacon of love in their community. By the end of the story you clearly see why this secret—so simple yet so profound—is vital and how to apply it to the life of your church.
“This is a great story. Jesus placed all His bets on the mastering of love by His people. Read it—and get to work!”
~ John Ortberg, Pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church; and Author, All the Places to Go
