Flourish: Fuller Life for All through Church Community Transformation

By Richard Lister

How does Ormilla, a hungry outcast girl in South Asia, turn into a flourishing young woman confidently leading a preschool? How does a violent part of Belfast City in the United Kingdom, where youths used to throw stones at police cars, develop into a thriving community? And how does Peter in Kenya, an alcoholic dressed in rags covered with mud, become a dignified Christian man full of joy and no longer poor?

The answer? They've been transformed by experiencing God's goodness through the active love of God's people.

God calls all people into a great adventure: to work so all types of people and all places can enjoy restored and flourishing relationships. This is Jesus's offer of life in all its fullness.

This book shares the compelling stories of God using ordinary local churches and their communities to bring deep transformation, along with three straightforward biblical principles that help turn God's inspiring vision into reality.
