The Externally Focused Quest: Becoming the Best Church for the Community will help readers understand the ten changes necessary to becoming externally focused. The changes are not about changes in degree but changes in kind that affect the very idea of what it means to be church. This book is not about getting all churches to have an annual day of community service as a tactic but changing the core of who they are and how they see themselves. This is not about 40 days of purpose but more like 40 years of re-purposing. It is a highly practical approach that shows readers the major shifts that are needed to become externally focused.
