Primary Purpose: Making It Hard for People to Go to Hell from Your City

Summary: Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing; and Getting it Done
Review: A very practical, readable book outlining principles for effective lifestyle ministry and spiritual warfare. Haggard places Christian cultural and doctrinal issues in perspective with the worldwide Church's main purpose on earth, which is to turn souls from darkness to light, and uses the Colorado Springs history to show the effectiveness of his Biblically-supported principles. This solid, well-reasoned book is seasoned with the knowledge of a man who has done the work he talks about; there is little theory here unsupported by experience. This will set a standard and a measure, for every activity you undertake from the time you open its cover.

Summary: Jesus Revisited
Review: Solid as a rock, piercing as a thunderbolt, soothing as anointment oil, inspiring as the scent of a rose, straightforward as an innocent heart - Ted's words reflect his Christ-like character, do make the Lord's teachings very alive and securely point the way for those who want to live by them and make them alive in this age of intense spiritual threats and even greater spiritual opportunities.

Summary: Practical spiritual insight.
Review: This is a light read, and easy to understand. The book is set in three sections addressing different aspects of Haggard's plan to " Make it hard for people in your city to go to hell".

Section one is a brief, but interesting look at the work the author has done in Colorado Springs, Co. There is some detail as to the actual church planting up through the growth and health of the New Life church. Some specific and difficult spiritual confrontations are listed here and throughout the book.

Section two contains practical advice on how to implement biblical priciples into reaching the lost of your city and region. This section offers a practical guide to building a relationship with other christian leaders in your area.

The third section gets up close and personal. It was by far the best part of the book. It will cause you to consider your approach to reaching the lost and your personal walk with the Lord. This portion of the book was invasive and will give you opportunity to do some self evaluation. This teaching is important for all of us interested in approaching the Lord's work in the harvest.

We've seen some of these principles working in our town and believe they can work everywhere.

Summary: Great insight and practical help
Review: This is one of the finest books that I have read on reaching your community for Christ. There are no flashy bells and whistles that he puts out for the reader, rather, he gets to basics and talks about things that any church can do - prayer, fasting, living a clean life, etc. While sometimes, the calls to action may be slightly simplistic (such as when he says that if you are struggling with a sin, then just don't do it - I mean that sounds nice on paper, but in the real world, you need to power of God to accomplish that), the book is still chock-full of wonderful advice.
If you plan to get only one book to help you and your church reach the lost, then this is a good choice.
