Each case study is accompanied by thoughtful discussion questions and a list of the church planting practices it illustrates. An appendix, more than 50 pages long, explains, categorizes, and describes a more complete list of 68 \u201cfruitful\u201d practices for evangelism and church planting in Muslim settings.<\/p>\n<p>This readable and encouraging book would be a great resource for church planters to read and discuss with teammates. It may also be of interest to supporters, students, future church planters, missiologists, and instructors. The language is non-technical, the stories are written in an engaging way, and many of the practices could also be applied in non-Muslim contexts.<\/p>\n<p>Though it can stand alone, this book is the sequel to a helpful 2010 publication, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Where-There-Was-No-Church-ebook\/dp\/B004A156EU\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Where-There-Was-No-Church-ebook\/dp\/B004A156EU\">Where There Was No Church<\/a>.
