Pastor Edward's simple \"yes\" to God's call made way for 30 uniquely impactful stories to be strung together in such a way that only God could've authored it. I have no doubt that after you read through these stories, you will be encouraged in your calling, assured of God's power, and compelled to walk through your next step of obedience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLanae Romero, Original Core Team Member Oakland, CA\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have thought about or are thinking about church planting, you won't want to miss this book. Edward has a particular gift for looking backward and forward with the deep reflections from which spiritual growth emerges. He traces times of despair and breakthrough, self-doubt and encouragement, obstacles and open doors in ways that weave together his story that God is writing. In the midst of this is a story of partnership where there might have been competition that gives us a glimpse of God's kingdom right here in Oakland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNancy Ortberg, Chief Executive Officer Transforming the Bay with Christ\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beauty of this book is not that it inspires you to expect God to work in your life the same way he worked in these stories. Rather, Edward points us to the character of God. Our unchanging Lord is ready to reveal himself to you today to transform your life, family, ministry, and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaniel Henderson, President Strategic Renewal International\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting a church is one of the most challenging things a person could ever do. Money is often inadequate. Volunteers can be scarce. Feelings can get hurt. Relationships can be broken. But starting a church can also be the most incredible thing a person could ever do. People give their lives to Jesus. Relationships are restored. Communities are served. Lives are transformed. Edward's account of God's work through THEMOVEMENT.CHURCH so far includes accounts of all of the above and more. It is a great record to have and a great foundation upon which to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKevin Ezell, President North American Mission Board, SBC\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have been around hundreds of church planters over the last 20 years.
