Deep and Wide

Andy Stanley s bestselling and award-winning vision for the local church is now available in softcover. New bonus content includes a study guide, church staff helps, and an interview with Andy on the most frequently asked questions about Deep and Wide.
With surprising candor and transparency pastor Andy Stanley explains how one of America s largest churches began with a high-profile divorce and a church split.
But that s just the beginning
Deep and Wide provides church leaders with an in-depth look into North Point Community Church and its strategy for creating churches unchurched people absolutely love to attend.
For the first time, Andy explains his strategy for preaching and programming to dual audiences : mature believers and cynical unbelievers. He argues that preaching to dual audiences doesn t require communicators to dumb down the content. According to Stanley, it s all in the approach.
You ll be introduced to North Point's spiritual formation model: The Five Faith Catalysts. Leaders responsible for ministry programing and production will no doubt love Andy s discussion of the three essential ingredients for creating irresistible environments.  For pastors willing to tackle the challenge of transitioning a local congregation, Andy includes a section entitled: Becoming Deep and Wide.
If your team is more concerned with who you are reaching than who you are keeping, the expanded edition of Deep & Wide will be more than a book you read; it will be a resource you come back to over and over!
Couldn't be prouder of my son, Andy. And I couldn't be more excited about the content of this book. I wish a resource like this existed when I was starting out in ministry.
- Dr. Charles Stanley, Founder, In Touch Ministries
Deep and Wide pulls back the curtain for all of us to see what is required behind the scenes to build a prevailing church.  I was both challenged and inspired by this book.
- Bill Hybels, author of Just Walk Across the Room
The most common question I get from pastors is, How do I get the people in my church to be open to change? From now on my answer will be, Read Deep and Wide by Andy Stanley .  Thanks Andy.  Great book!
- Craig Groeschel, Pastor, LifeChurch.TV, author, It: How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep It
It is completely false that churches must sacrifice quality to get quantity, must artificially choose between evangelism and discipleship, or cannot have depth and growth at the same time. Few prove this fact better than the ministry of Andy Stanley, who has grown North Point Community Church on purpose and with passion. No Christian leader can afford to miss this book.
- Rick Warren, pastor, Saddleback Church; author, The Purpose Driven Church

Riassunto

A Close Look at What It Takes to Create an Irresistible Church.
This isn't a book about how to make your church bigger. This is a book about how to make your church more appealing to the people who don’t usually—or have never—gone to church.
Deep and Wide provides church leaders with an in-depth look into North Point Community Church and its strategies, its goals, its methods, and its story. You'll learn how to create a church that unchurched people absolutely love to attend. Pastor Andy Stanley explains:

• His strategy for preaching and programming to both mature believers and skeptics.
• North Point's spiritual formation model: The Five Faith Catalysts.
• Three essential ingredients for creating irresistible environments.
• How to tackle the challenge of transitioning a local congregation.

In Deep and Wide, Andy opens up his playbook for how North Point Community Church grew into one of the nation's most effective churches, openly shares their victories and failures, and shows you how to take your own church deeper in the Word and wider in appeal." —Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host.
