The Quest by Eric Swanson & Rick Rusaw 
Most churches, blatantly or subtly, have an unspoken objective – “How can we be the ‘best church in our community?’” – and they staff, budget, and plan accordingly. How a church answers that question determines its entire approach to its members, staff, prayers, finances, time, technology, and facilities. Becoming an externally focused church is not about becoming the best church in the community. The externally focused church asks, “How can we be the best church for our community?” That one little preposition changes everything. And that is the big question this new book from the authors of The Externally Focused Church seeks to answer (The Quest, inside jacket) http://www.amazon.com/Externally-Focused-Quest-Jossey-Bass-Leadership/dp/0470500786
Faith Begins at Home by Mark Holmen 
In the past, faith was a central part of the family’s home life, passed on from generation to generation. Today, the reality for many families is that faith is no more than one-hour, drop-off Christianity, if it is present at all. What does this mean for the faith of our children? How will they come to know Christ? And how does a family put Christ at the center of their busy lives?
… In this engaging book, you will learn about the importance of your and your spouse’s walk with the Lord; of using the gifts and experiences of grandparents, elders and mentors in the family; and of the role the church should play with families. Filled with a wealth of practical ideas, inspirational stories and biblical truth, Faith Begins at Home will inspire, motivate and equip you to help your family succeed. www.faithathome.ca
