Get Your Strategy On
My newest book, Simply Strategic Growth, arrived in Granger yesterday. If you haven’t written a book before, let me just tell you it’s a rather bizarre experience to hold an actual copy in your hand after investing a year or so of your life into a project like that. It’s sort of like finally seeing your newborn infant after nine months of waiting. Of course, making a baby is a whole lot more fun than making a book…if you know what I mean.
I know I’m the author, and you would probably expect me to say this, but I honestly think this is my favorite of the three books in the Simply Strategic series. This book, more than the previous two, really reflects the personality of Granger Community Church. The most notable uniqueness of Granger is the way we approach the "weekend experience." This book tries to unpack the values and strategies behind how we attract a crowd to our weekend services. As with the previous two books, we provide 99 ideas for you to consider. And, because Tim and I are not highly cerebral guys, you get those ideas in easy-to-read nuggets that make this the perfect bathroom read…if you know what I mean.
If you search hard enough, you can pre-order the book at Amazon. If you want a copy early, though, WiredChurches.com has them available at a discounted price. Of course, if you buy it there you’ll also be supporting the ministry of Granger Community Church instead of helping Amazon make more money, and that’s also a good thing…if you know what I mean.

I know what you mean… (kind of).
