I liked reading about what God is doing across the world. I like a lot of the basic premises in the book. Raising up indigenous leaders, house churches, preventing dependence on foreign funds, intentional reproduction, lay leadership, etc are all great concepts. On the flip side, the book came off a little to ... prescriptive. A little too interested in 'Strategy Coordinators' and 'Church Planting Movements'. A least that is my opinion. If you took those two words out of the book, and just looke...more

Garrison delivers a fairly riveting account of the way Church Planting Movements are happening around the world. After a while all the numbers and figures made my eyes gloss over, but they are impressive nonetheless. I got more out of the theories and ideas for the ways God is moving in churches around the world. The most important piece I think is that each culture has it's own way of worshipping God and that missionaries can't assume they know how God is going to interact with the people of th...more
This book has been around awhile, but even reading it again now, I find it extremely relevant. The descriptions of what a CPM is are still spot on, the Biblical theological study of why CPMs are Biblical is very solid, plus the 10 universal elements and other evaluation tools I find to still be practical and useful. If you are involved in church planting you must read and own this book.

So encouraging! Here's a model for international mission that's really working. More to the point, this book is full of great stories of God building the church throughout the world today!
Great book! Inspiring and direct. It reflects the experience of the author and his commitment to the evangelization of the world.

Church Planting Movements by David Garrison goes straight to my '4-and-5-star-books' shelf on Goodreads. It's an easy 5/5. I feel like it's been a while since I've reviewed a book that I was entirely enthusiastic about. This one was my lucky break. 'It was amazing!'
In terms of it unputdownability—as I've heard the trait referred to--Church Planting Movements performed very well in my experience. Not being particularly drawn to history and statistics, the part two of the four-part book was less co...more

Garrison examines several Church Planting Movements (CPM) in Southeast Asia, North Africa, China, Latin America, Central Asia, Western Europe, and Ethiopia. He identifies their universal characteristics, examines common obstacles, analyzes case studies, and provides practical application to begin and nurture CPMs. Garrison defines a CPM as “a rapid and multiplicative increase of indigenous churches planting churches within a given people group or population segment” (Garrison, 7). According to G...more

'God welcomes our participation in his mighty acts, but we must participate on his terms. We should never deceive ourselves into thinking we can ignore the ways he is at work and still expect his blessings.'
Great overview of church planting movements as of publication 2004. Practical chapters on biblical basis, common characteristics, pitfalls to avoid, etc.
Would love to see an update, especially now with the work being done among refugee/ displaced populations the world over.

Gosh, what a book. Extremely practical and a must-read for every Christian. David Garrison goes through how God is changing the world by using simple people who start communities in their homes that would multiply and become house churches that would later reach millions of unbelievers across the nations. Garrison then takes a closer look at these 'church planting movements' and gives us some practical steps as to how we could join God in this movement, raising the bar for modern Christians to b...more
when johann h. bavinck speaks in his book of the non-believing heart 'housing' God even while still ignorant to God, that transformed, redeemed pagans can hear of the gospel and '..a veil is lifted, revealing the Christ which was already there..', i dont think that anything could have been more foreign or extraordinary to me. but reading garrison's survey on worldwide church planting movements is like seeing bavinck's notion exponentially expanded. very cool stuff! thy kingdom come..and let it c...more
