Primary Purpose: Making it hard for people to go to hell from your city

Solid as a rock, piercing as a thunderbolt, soothing as anointment oil, inspiring as the scent of a rose, straightforward as an innocent heart - Ted's words reflect his Christ-like character, do make the Lord's teachings very alive and securely point the way for those who want to live by them and make them alive in this age of intense spiritual threats and even greater spiritual opportunities.

Revolutionized my view of grace. Ted Haggard is a good teacher not only on what to do, but why.

This is a light read, and easy to understand. The book is set in three sections addressing different aspects of Haggard's plan to " Make it hard for people in your city to go to hell".

Section one is a brief, but interesting look at the work the author has done in Colorado Springs, Co. There is some detail as to the actual church planting up through the growth and health of the New Life church. Some specific and difficult spiritual confrontations are listed here and throughout the book.

Section two contains practical advice on how to implement biblical priciples into reaching the lost of your city and region. This section offers a practical guide to building a relationship with other christian leaders in your area.

The third section gets up close and personal. It was by far the best part of the book. It will cause you to consider your approach to reaching the lost and your personal walk with the Lord. This portion of the book was invasive and will give you opportunity to do some self evaluation. This teaching is important for all of us interested in approaching the Lord's work in the harvest.

We've seen some of these principles working in our town and believe they can work everywhere.

This is an outstanding book which promotes a sound biblical philosophy of ministry. This book points us towards the church of the future. I highly recommend it.

Ted has a way of making things simple in this book. It does so much more than explain how to make it hard for people to go to hell from our city. It helps establish a biblical worldview and really tests your motives. Very humbling. I would recommend it to those in leadership as well as the congregation.
Remember, whose kingdom are we building?
