This book is subtitled "A Guide to 8 Essential Qualities of Healthy Churches". This is a user-friendly, reader-friendly book which identifies eight characteristics for growth: empowering leadership; gift-oriented ministry; passionate spirituality; functional structures; inspiring worship service; holistic small groups; need-oriented evangelism; and loving relationships. A new biblically-based paradigm is introduced with ten practical steps on how to use and implement Natural Church Development. Practical conclusions drawn from the most comprehensive study ever conducted on the causes of church growth-more than 1000 churches in 32 countries. The most important finding? The true causes of church growth are not what we have often believed them to be. According to his second book, "Color Your World with NCD"(BKC02260), there are now over 40,000 churches throughout the world which have participated in some degree in the NCD process with 51 % experiencing increase of the growth rate. 1.3 million individuals have joined these churches as a direct consequence of the NCD process.
