Over 90 percent of all Christian churches in the United States have fewer than 200 members. While they vary in shape, size, ethnicity, and denomination, they have one thing in common: the desire to grow. So why is it that some churches fail to grow for years, while other congregations in the same community increase exponentially? The problem, says church marketing authority Richard Reising, is that most churches should not be doing promotion. Instead, they should focus on the preparation that will make members eager to invite others. In ChurchMarketing 101®, he demystifies basic marketing principles for the church, evaluates them against biblical principles, and illustrates how simple changes can remove roadblocks that hinder members from reaching out. Reising's simple yet insightful approach will be invaluable to pastors and ministry leaders from churches of all denominations and styles.

Is marketing biblical? Although the word "marketing" never appears in the Bible, the Bible is filled with examples of successful marketers: Solomon, Joshua, Nehemiah, and Paul, to name just a few. As you'll see in this book, these dynamic men of God had the ability to identify people's needs and then find the best ways to meet them. Jesus told his followers to do the same -- to bring his message to people in a way they could understand and relate to. That's the heart of marketing. And those principles can be immensely useful as you take part in God's work here on earth. It's time to move beyond the question of whether or not marketing is a biblical practice. The real question is whether your church can afford not to use such a powerful andd readily available tool. - Back cover.

Marketing the church is hot. For many church leaders, marketing might even be the first article of their creed, which goes something like this: We believe that our church determines its identity and mission through the tactics of marketing strategies. Theologians Kenneson and Street offer a thoughtful and provocative protest, with a foreword from Stanley Hauerwas. The authors expose the theological presuppositions that inform the marketing project. . . and help us to see that the marketer's presumption that form can be separated from content of the gospel betrays an understanding of the gospel that cannot help betraying the gift that is Christ. The authors propose an alternative, constructive account of the church's mission and purpose that is not based on exchange of value but on reminding us that the gospel is always a gift - a gift that makes impossible any presumptions that there can be an exchange between human beings and God that is rooted in the satisfaction of our untrained needs. The cross and resurrection challenge the world's understanding of what our needs should be.

GOD is Jesus & Mahomad. God revealed to the author that now is the time to share and help explain this Revelation. It was initially revealed to author, Bryan Foster, in the early morning on 28th, May 2016 while camping on the plains of Mt Warning in Murwillumbah. This is the fifth book published in the 'GOD Today' Series. It highlights three Revelations from God that you will love or hate. Key concepts covered in this book's series of articles are: God/Allah is Jesus & Mahomad; the Truth was revealed by God through 21 Revelations received by the author in 2016 and November, 2018; the various Revelations not explained in the first four books are explained now; the prophecy of the author and Tears from God help prove the Incarnations of God as Jesus and Mahomad.God needs the religious leaders, scriptural scholars, theologians, etc., from both Islam and Christianity to explain these Revelations as each applies to them. Other religions should also be included through the offer to become an integral part of God's place in today's world by helping with the explanations, and the theology of One God only, the same God, for all time etc.. Book 4, primarily a photobook companion for Book 3, helps the reader appreciate the Truth from God through some spectacular and original images of the sun's rays, flares, clouds and a double rainbow. Many manifesting as sun arrows, flares and a giant Easter Cross. The author believes that these are shared by God to help both the author and readers alike believe in their accuracy, through the Revelations, images and explanations.The final two books in this Series of seven are about LOVE in our world and ABSOLUTE LOVE from God for each one of us throughout history and into the future until the end of time.GOD LOVES each of us equally and encourages us all to live a life in strong relationships with God and our neighbours throughout the world past, present and future.
