Law and Gospel: The Foundation of Lutheran Ministry with Special Reference to the Church Growth Movement

This handy volume, available through Northwestern Publishing House in Milwaukee, WI, is a thorough work and looks at the heart of starting a church. How should one start a church, or an existing congregation conduct evangelism and outreach? In the face of the Church Growth Movement, Rev. Koester examines the policies, doctrine, and practices of this movement against what Scriptures teach about the growth of God's Church. For those caught up in the "Numbers Game," this is a refreshing and reassuring book that reinforces that the harvest is in God's hands.
