A companion volume to "Rural Revival: Growing Churches in Shrinking
Communities," this book is designed to help you, the rural pastor,
improve your prayer life and your preaching, grow your church, and
deal with the day-to-day opportunities and problems that you will
ultimately face.
From time to time God crosses our paths with a book or message we
recognize as being uniquely from Him. As I read Dr. Moore's book
"Exit Wounds," I had a strong sense of God's special blessing and
guidance upon this work. As one who has done ministry, research and
writing in the area of pastor-church relationships, I believe Scott
Moore's book is unique and desperately needed. It is one of those
rare books that speaks equally to layman and ministers alike. With
a compelling narrative style of writing, readers are exposed to
urgently needed truths in ways that speak deeply to their hearts.
In a powerful way, this book will help laypeople and clergy know
not only what not to do, but what to do in extending mercy to
others. And for those times when hurt occurs, the awesome truth of
Romans 8:28 shines brightly for those who are wounded and wronged.
Above all, this tool will help prevent the bitterness and lasting
damage that is always Satan's goal in church conflict. It is my
prayer that every believer and minister will read this book
prayerfully. It would not only prevent much hurt, it would channel
souls into healing and mercy when hurt occurs. May God grant great
mercy, grace and healing to all who read it. Toward greater mercy

The seven people you will meet in the Wilderness. This book
consists of seven vignettes describing the lives of seven
characters. Each character will teach you lessons you will need in
order to survive the Wilderness experiences of your life. They are
the evil talebearer, the radical nonconformist, the juvenile
delinquent, the overwhelmed pastor, the unwilling immigrant, the
lone ranger, and the silent partner. Why will you meet them in that
order? They are ranked from the least helpful to the most helpful
to you in handling your Wilderness experience. Each one will post
his resume, describe his life, and share his epitaph. They will
each issue the same invitation: "follow me."
What would happen if you formed a co-pastoral team consisting of a
Spirit-filled "Mary" and a Spirit-filled "Martha?" Could the two
polar opposites coexist? Can they effectively work together to
start and staff a New Testament church? Join Pastor Sam Anderson
(Mary) and businessman Todd Williams (Martha) as they answer these
and many other questions.
Can rural churches experience significant growth? The answer is,
"YES " This book defines and applies four major factors that
distinguish growing churches from the rest of the pack.
