Book cover1 200x200 Successful Master Planning: More than pretty picturesAfter over 8 months of writing, editing and editing (by the way, did I mention editing)…my first book has been released and is available on Amazon.

Has your church or ministry ever considered a building or expansion program? Have you ever stepped out in faith only to get bogged down in details? Is your master plan little more than a “pretty picture” to present to your congregation? In Master Planning: More than Pretty Picture, I  provide a comprehensive primer to lead you through the myriad details, processes, steps, and decisions that must be considered as part of a church building project. With more than twenty-three years of experience working with churches, ministers, and their leadership, I  address the issues churches must confront and the questions that must be answered at every critical step of the master planning process and facilities expansion project. It includes helpful information about topics such as land and site selection, zoning, funding and financing, the architectural review process, construction, and post-construction. Providing realistic and practical applications, Master Planning: More than Pretty Pictures communicates the importance of creating a master plan the right way. Crafted correctly, a solid master plan can bring unity, a renewed sense of purpose, and financial stability to the church.

There are 2 people in particular that I want to thank.  First is my friend Todd Hahn, pastor of Next Level Church in Charlotte.  Todd played a huge part in the editing and content clarification..THANKS MAN.  The second is Tim Stevens, Executive Pastor at Granger Community Church.  Tim wrote the back cover endorsement and I was so honored to have him be a part of this project.  When I grow up I want to be like him.

The book is available in Hard Cover or Soft Cover from Amazon and an e-book format is available though the publisher.

Thanks for your support…happy reading…then pass it on.
