Not the greatest book in the world, but they do offer a bunch of very practical steps for the launch of a new church. They break down the launch process into the three sections:
1. Foundation
2. Formation
3. Implementation
They take a new approach to the "launching" of a church verses the traditional wording of "planting" a church. Searcy and Thomas use the approach of building a launch team of non-churched people from the community that will serve the purpose of launching the church and that's it.
The section that I found most helpful was the Implementation section where they address issues of growing the church, growth barriers and first year systems.
It takes a little to get used to the nauseating level of shameless self-promotion. But once you do, you will find a bunch of good stuff.
