Description
Meet the man who sparked the entire modern church growth movement. In this first full biography of Donald A. McGavran, Gary L. McIntosh tells the complete story of one of the twentieth century's greatest church leaders and influential thinkers. Now, for the first time, discover the roots of the modern Church Growth Movement during the 1950s to understand what is applicable to ministry today. No other person so impacted the growth of the church around the world, as well as in North America, as "Dr. Mac," as his friends called him. McIntosh tells McGavran's compelling story from his years as an evangelistic missionary in India, to his founding of an influential school of missiology, to the beginning of a movement that changed the entire face of mission. Join McIntosh on a discovery of McGavran's life and work as God molded him into the premier missiologist of the twentieth century. When it comes to applicable truths concerning the growth of the Christian church, McGavran's story reveals critical insights that many in ministry today have been missing for far too long.
