Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This is a book for pacesetters -- church leaders who desire to help
their churches break free of the things that turn them in on
themselves and keep them from being outward-looking and
outward-moving communities of Jesus Christ. The ingrown church is a
common phenomenon. It is the 'norm' for contemporary evangelical
and Protestant churches. But ingrownness is a pathology. It can
destroy the vital spiritual health of a church. It must, therefore,
be combated with the norms of Scripture. And that is why this book
was written. Outgrowing the Ingrown Church is a masterful mix of
biblical principle, objective analysis, and personal experience. It
traces the author's own growing awareness of the problem of
ingrownness in his calling as a pastor, seminary professor, and
evangelist/missionary. In his own discovery of the power and
presence of God he discovered the tendency of the church to live by
its own power and resources. This is a book written to help change
churches by changing the individuals who read it. It offers one an
unparalleled challenge to be evaluated, revitalized, and then used
by God for the work of ministry. Thus it is a book not merely for
pastors, but for the whole body of Christ. 'I have never been as
excited about any book concerning church growth as when I read this
book . . . . (His biblical) principles, if followed, transform
individual lives and then lead to a movement within a church to
change the whole congregation, ' writes John Guest in the foreword
