Steve’s new book received heartfelt endorsements from church planting leaders across denominations, including:
- The Assemblies of God
- Norwegian Pentecostal Movement
- The Wesleyan Church
- The Anglican Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic
- And others
Coupled with a strategic marketing plan, Next Wave: Discovering the 21st Century Church became an Amazon #1 Best-Seller the day of its release.
And Steve keeps hearing from people across the country about his book. On the day he spoke with ArtSpeak for this article, Steve said:
“A church planting director decided he wanted to buy a copy of the book for every pastor in their district — five hundred books — just today! That was shocking to me, but the book made a profound impact on him.”
He received a note from another church planting director saying they decided to shift their organizational strategy and use the Next Wave metrics for all of their new churches.
