It is a question hundreds of pastors ask every day: what is the best way to grow? A great many books give a great many answers, and Jonathan Leeman's contention is that the best one comes from Scripture and is simpler and less fashionable than most of the alternatives.

Written by the editorial director of 9Marks, this book offers a thorough treatment of one of God's great concerns: growing his people and growing his church through the preaching and hearing of his Word. As straightforward as the concept sounds, many churches miss it, to their own detriment, and the book works out what taking it seriously would change.
