I'm long overdue for writing and have a dozen ideas for different blog entries I want to share with you. But for now, I am celebrating the arrival of "A New Day in the City." Roger and I started working on it nearly three years ago, and my first copies arrived on Friday. The book offers seven conversations for congregations who long to experience revival: pruning, strategy, vision, mission/evangelism, excellence, and working together. It's the book I wish I had when I first arrived at Mount Vernon Place nearly twelve years ago, and I pray it inspires new life in congregations near and far. It's been a privilege to work with both Roger and the folks at Abingdon. I am over the moon excited about this book!
