Why are some congregations growing more than others? Why are some local congregations active and zealous, while others struggle just to keep the doors open? Undoubtedly the factors are many, but growing, zealous churches are filled with growing, zealous Christians who truly love the Lord and are on fire for His cause.
In his class book, Inside Out, Carl (Mac) McMurray, challenges us to look within - grow our spirits - develop our inner persons - so that we will be the kind of growing, zealous individuals that can make a difference for the cause of Christ.
Mac's workbook is well written and easy to read. The questions at the end of each chapter are valuable in facilitating the class discussion. Our class enjoyed his practical illustrations which often stimulated discussion and triggered other thoughts or examples from the students.
Most importantly, Mac's work is scripturally sound and challenged us to overcome our spiritual lethargy and truly grow into a people "zealous of good works." Our congregation enjoyed the book very much, and I believe your group would benefit greatly by fitting Mac's material into your curriculum plans.
