Planting Mangoes in the Church: Economic Development, Social Enterprise, and the Global Christian Church (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781664269736)

The Gospel of Christ is our hope-but it is only the starting point of our Christian faith and lives. Too often, Christianity is limited to Sundays and has little effect on our daily work and even less on our local economy.

So, what do we do? How can we leverage our faith to make an impact, especially in places where Christians and their communities are struggling to survive?

This book seeks to get Christians thinking about how to gather together as an incubator church to seek spiritual and economic growth in our communities. The author draws on simple but powerful stories to show how we can bring the shalom of God to our neighborhoods via social enterprise driven by the local church.

The Christian Church is growing with the most momentum in Africa, Latin America and Asia - areas historically plagued by poverty. The Gospel has reached much of the world. But the Kingdom of God does not end with conversion - it should grow to affect every area of life.

The success of Planting Mangoes in the Church is that readers are quickly led to think, discuss, and brainstorm meaningful and actionable steps to benefit their own work and, collectively, their local church and economy.
