by Michael A. Milton (Author)
Church planting is a rigorous and rewarding endeavor that requires more than preaching ability--it demands the creation of a deeply rooted, gospel-centered community. In Deep Roots: Toward a Biblical-Theological Framework for Church Planting, Michael A. Milton offers a compelling guide to the theological, pastoral, and practical dimensions of church planting. As part of the respected D. James Kennedy Institute series, this work serves as both a roadmap and a theological syllabus for leaders seeking to plant and sustain vibrant congregations. Milton emphasizes that church planting is fundamentally a shepherd's work: nurturing, guiding, and cultivating a community of faith with spiritual integrity at its core. Success in this calling requires more than eloquent sermons; it necessitates creating an environment where the gospel thrives and disciples are made.
