Reviews of The Big Idea
Critical Praise for The Big Idea:

"One of the Best Preaching Books of 2007! The Big Idea offers an abundance of ideas on planning and developing a 'big idea' model in the local church. This book is packed with solid and helpful ideas, and the 'big idea' of the book is one that churches should carefully consider trying in their own setting." — Preaching magazine

Product Details for The Big Idea
Nothing is more dangerous than a single compelling idea that is lived out and nothing is more harmless than lots of little ideas never applied. By creatively communicating one Big Idea every week your church will transform people into genuine Christ followers who live out the mission of Jesus. Less is more!

Description: 
Community Christian Church embraced the Big Idea and everything changed. They decided to avoid the common mistake of bombarding people with so many “little ideas” that they suffered overload. They also recognized that leaders often don’t insist that the truth be lived out to accomplish Jesus’ mission. Why? Because people’s heads are swimming with too many little ideas, far more than they can ever apply.
 
The Big Idea can help you creatively present one laser-focused theme each week to be discussed in families and small groups.
 
The Big Idea shows how to engage in a process of creative collaboration that brings people together and maximizes missional impact.
 
The Big Idea can energize a church staff and bring alignment and focus to many diverse church ministries.
 
This book shows how the Big Idea has helped Community Christian Church better accomplish the Jesus mission and reach thousands of people in nine locations and launch a church planting network with partner churches across the country.
 
This book is part of the Leadership Network Innovation Series.
