PresbyGrow

We are very fortunate to live in an era in which information about congregational development and transformation is becoming more readily available.  But with dozens of books about mission, outreach, evangelism, etc. being published a year, how can a pastor or congregation member know which books to purchase immediately and which ones are “duds?”

Here at PresbyGrow, we’re going to do our best to post book-reviews about some of the hottest, most-talked about resources, as well as a few undiscovered gems.

Don’t see a book you like?  Let us know and we’ll post a review as soon as we can.

Or, for your DIY-ers, feel free to send a book review to us and we’ll be more than happy to post it.
