To Dream Again, Again! – By Robert D. Dale
To Dream Again, Again! Growing Healthy Congregations for Changing Futures explores the power of congregational dreams.
The health cycle model offers an organic, inside-out approach for understanding church health and avoiding pathology. To root churches in redemptive health, we’ll identify and apply health cycle discoveries. By rooting life and witness in healthy purpose, we can cultivate new life and vitality in our churches. When congregations discern and then act on their fundamental reason for being, a purposeful dream awakens and empowers them.
This book is for leaders, both clergy and laity, who love their congregations and are committed to keeping their churches healthy and redemptive. The model and principles in this book fit most volunteer (and many for-profit) organizations. Applying this model to your church is your minis- try opportunity. Why? Because leaders like you are tenders of congregational health.
An e-book is available on Amazon (Kindle) and Barnes & Noble (Nook).
This book is part of the Healthy Church Resources series, which is a collaboration of the Center for Healthy Churches, the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation and Good Faith Media. Other books in the series are available here.
