Gospel-Driven Change: Navigating Reform in a Local Church

Navigating change in a church isn't easy. However, change has to happen if the gospel is to run freely and effectively in an ever-changing culture. This book makes the case that only gospel-driven change is authentic, and, for the gospel's sake, it must be navigated carefully. Commendations 'A delightful book to encourage servants of our Lord Jesus to trust God to do what is extraordinary through what may look very ordinary.' Johnny Prime, Head of local ministries, FIEC. 'This book is particularly helpful because all the way through it is clear that thirty years of gospel-driven change were won through by dependence on a spirit of prayer and a willingness to seek the mind of God through his word.' Phil Arthur, retired pastor of Grace Baptist Church, Lancaster 'Watts is right to remind us that change has a purpose, and that this purpose is bound up in the glory of God. The challenges laid out here of navigating gospel-driven change in a God-glorifying way will give food for thought to pastors and congregations alike.' Rev. Mark Wallace, St Peter's, Colchester
