The Redeemer Church Planting Manual is an extensive compendium of outlines, lectures, essays, exercises and other materials that prepare learners for church planting especially in an urban setting. As with other similar manuals this manual shares the conviction that church planting is the single "most effective evangelistic methodology known under heaven." (C.P. Wagner) But most books on new church development are either too general (telling us why to do church planting but not how to do it) or too specific (telling us how to reproduce just one particular kind of church model.) This manual is to equip the reader to think creatively about how to start churches in any context, culture or people group. - Publisher.
