* Built by the Owner’s Design (The Positive Approach to Building Your Church God’s Way) – By Danny R. Von Kanel – This book, Danny’s first, invites you into the drawing room of the Master Designer to examine His blueprints for evangelism and church growth. Employing the plumb line of God's Word, he makes it clear that God's way of growth and outreach is most effective. Von Kanel draws on a careful analysis of more than 50 churches in the Southern Baptist, United Methodist, and Presbyterian (USA) denominations to offer a viable alternative that charts a middle ground between overzealousness and declining attendance, identifying a proven framework that can support lasting growth in diverse situations. Several checklists are included that help you systematically evaluate your own congregation and develop a tailor - made growth plan based on your specific circumstances. Grounded in solid research and Von Kanel's own experience in several growing ministries,

OWNER’S DESIGN SAYINGS ________________________________


• “Intimacy with Christ brings the full weight of God’s blessings on our lives. Anything less than first place in essence becomes our idol. Jesus said in Luke 4:8 “Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.” Danny Von Kanel

* “Life has its share of challenges and problems. God’s Word becomes your game plan. Every choice you make, the turns and detours, a corresponding scripture can guide your decision.” Danny Von Kanel

* “Bring broken relationships with others back to restoration – Until all our relationships are restored, God has little room to lead and guide the way He desires.” Danny Von Kanel

BIBLE SNIPPETS_________________________________________

* Ephesians 2:20 - And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.

* 2 Timothy 3:16 - 17 - All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

* Proverbs 28:13 - He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy.
