Transformative Church Planting Movement Martin Leo Jones

Transformative Church Planting Movement is a new way of doing church. It challenges Christians to evaluate their present paradigm and supporting traditions (the way they do church) in light of Jesus' ministry. It stresses the importance of individual and small group transformation as the foundation for church transformation. The book emphasizes The Great Commandment of "love" for God and others as the motivations for TCPM. The Great Commission to "make disciples" with the corresponding method of "go to baptize, baptize to teach, and teach to go" form the matrix of TCPM. In addition, the book uses the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13 to introduce a transformative theological model that is an insightful and inductive process for producing individual transformation that is practical. For those that want to make disciples and see God through His Word transform lives, churches, and communities, this book offers an alternative, a different way of doing church.
