REVIEWS

Early Reviews - “Built By The Owner’s Design” By: Danny R. Von Kanel

* “This book (Built By The Owner’s Design) has three things that make it a MUST read for
pastors:
1. It is concise, straightforward without being polemical, and easy to grasp.
2. The author effectively combines evangelism and discipleship for the average church.
3. The author provides user-friendly evaluation instruments

I highly recommend this book.” Arthur D. Beacham, Executive Director, International Pentecostal Holiness Church

* “With many years of church staff experience and a heart to see the local church be more effective in reaching the lost, Danny Von Kanel invites us into the drawing room of the Master designer to examine His blueprints for evangelism and church growth. Using the
tools of solid research and employing the plumb line of God’s Word, Von Kanel makes it clear that God’s way of growth and outreach is the most effective! A different perspective -- a needed book, Built By The Owner’s Design will call a generation of church leaders to a
new assessment of what is being done to reach people. Thank you for publishing this solid work!” Dr. Randy Von Kanel, Senior Pastor at First Baptist Church, Tupelo, Mississippi and President of the Board at Global Outreach, Tupelo. (Former Associate Pastor of First Baptist Church, Jackson, Mississippi)

* “Danny wants to reach people for Christ! He has little patience with marketing gimmicks or shallow programs, and he is not afraid to take issue with contemporary ways of doing church while suggesting what he thinks is a more biblical pattern. Built By The Owner’s Design offers “planks” on which to build solid church growth, and includes surveys on evangelism,
discipleship, teaching, and spiritual growth. The book will help churches rethink their outreach methods and redouble their efforts.” Dr. Don M. Aycock, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Palatka, Florida

* “Built By The Owner’s Design” is a refreshing and enlightening resource that every pastor will want to read and own. Danny provides insightful illustrations for concepts presented. Short evaluations at the end of each chapter moves the information to application in his or her specific church setting. The theme of construction, from foundation to completion in
discipleship evangelism, provides an excellent backdrop for a fine work that can inspire church leaders toward a greater dedication to true discipleship.” Peg Keeley, Project Manager, Asbury Online Institute, Asbury Theological Seminary

* “The book (Built By The Owner’s Design) is well researched and documented. The 3/3/50 survey provides additional resources and the author’s personal experiences are liberally used. It is a balanced and helpful resource for a study of church growth ...” Dr. James Carter, LBC Live, Louisiana Baptist Convention

* “I was impressed with both the book and the subject matter. In my opinion, Danny Von Kanel is right on target with his new book, Built By The Owner’s Design. It was particularly interesting to find so many churches who claim to be evangelistic yet did not win many people to Christ. I think the book comes at a time when churches need to reevaluate what it means to be evangelistic and Von Kanel’s book gives a good framework for being a truly evangelistic church. ... We need to get back to the Owner’s Design. Read the book. Change your life. Change your church, your city, and your world.” Tim Posey, Evangelist, President and Executive director of Freedom Ministries International, Inc., Former President, Conference of Mississippi Evangelists

* “This is very helpful book which encourages church leaders to pursue biblical principles and concepts under grace, while avoiding traditional, institutional, programmatic, methodologies and models. Danny Von Kanel presents a fresh and creative proposal to build churches by God’s design, not by human engineering. Assistance is given for effectively customizing
evangelism outreach efforts. It’s very practical and useful.” Waldo J. Werning, Director, Discipling/Stewardship Center, Pewaukee, WI

* “Von Kanel discards some of the glitzy programs commercially marketed by others, and opts instead for steps to growth based on the Bible. Built By The Owner’s Design offer church leaders help in developing a solid church growth plan based on the only true foundation -- God’s word. It can be a valuable resource for the pastor and the church leader who wants to
see the church reach the community for Jesus Christ.” Randall Murphree, Editor of AFA Journal, a monthly publication of the American Family Association. (See www.afa.net for the complete review.)

* “Built By The Owner’s Design is one book that has caught me pleasantly by surprise. I was surprised to find a book that is applicable to all denominations, surprised by the author’s insight into the inner workings of individual churches, and surprised to find a book relating to evangelism that is direct and honest in its approach. I appreciate finding a book that gives
helpful steps and points to getting churches back on a true evangelistic track with meaningful growth. ... This is a book I would recommend to all Christians regardless of their leadership positions within their own church.” Mary Pallon, Lay leader in the Presbyterian Church (Served on the Evangelism Committee)

* “In Built By The Owner’s Design, author Danny Von Kanel tackles the topic of church growth in a critical but constructive manner. ... The presentation may ruffle some traditionalist feathers, but the content is worth considering and implementing where specifically applicable. Pastors will enjoy the journey through this easily readable, practical, and thought provoking book.” Barbara Robidoux, Freelance editor/critiquer
