"One thing I've learned in two decades of church leadership is that many leaders would rather make excuses than make progress. The truth is, you can make excuses or you can make progress but you can't make both.
If you want to keep making excuses, don't read this book.
If you want to make progress, prepare to become unreasonable."
- Carey Nieuwhof, Founding and Teaching Pastor, Connexus Church, www.careynieuwhof.com
"UNREASONABLE CHURCHES challenges church leaders to think daringly about 'the way things have always been done.' Rich challenges the Church to take risks on trying new approaches to ministry including giving leadership training, follow up, and more. The case studies of churches innovating and reaching uncharted territory, along with takeaway questions, are inspiring and worth every penny spent on the book "
