About this book

For many years, evangelical church leaders have been told that the key to seeing gospel growth is to “just be faithful”. In Growth and Change, Andrew Heard challenges this misconception head-on with wisdom from decades of ministry experience and deep theological reflection.

Richly biblical and heartfelt, this ground-breaking book confronts sacred cows, rejects easy answers and addresses the tensions felt by every leader who wants to proactively work for change while remaining absolutely committed to the word of God.

This is a must-read for every church leader committed to seeing the gospel of Jesus grow and bear fruit.

I honestly believe this could prove to be one of the most important books (after the Bible, of course) for church leaders in our time.
