A Close Look at What It Takes to Create an Irresistible Church.
This isn't a book about how to make your church bigger. This is a book about how to make your church more appealing to the people who don’t usually—or have never—gone to church.
Deep and Wide provides church leaders with an in-depth look into North Point Community Church and its strategies, its goals, its methods, and its story. You'll learn how to create a church that unchurched people absolutely love to attend. Pastor Andy Stanley explains:
- His strategy for preaching and programming to both mature believers and skeptics.
- North Point's spiritual formation model: The Five Faith Catalysts.
- Three essential ingredients for creating irresistible environments.
- How to tackle the challenge of transitioning a local congregation.
Updated & Expanded edition includes discussion guide, church staff resources, and a Q&A with Andy!
"Andy Stanley is on the front lines of a major shift in how both Christians and non-Christians experience "church" in America. In Deep and Wide, Andy opens up his playbook for how North Point Community Church grew into one of the nation's most effective churches, openly shares their victories and failures, and shows you how to take your own church deeper in the Word and wider in appeal."—Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What did you like best about this story?
I liked hearing how Stanley arrived at God's will for his life, how he related how he, his wife, and his church went through to arrive at a place that is bringing glory to God and leading many people into a growing relationship with Jesus.What three words best describe Tom Parks’s voice?
Not Andy StanleyDid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed, I cried, I thought deeply.Any additional comments?
I wish Andy Stanley had read the book because I kept having to translate his voice into the story.Eye-Opening

Would you consider the audio edition of Deep & Wide to be better than the print version?
I found the audible version to be a convenient way to go through the book and have additionally picked up a print version that is helpful for referencing and reviewing areas. While I can bookmark areas on the audible copy, it gets difficult to see charts and other appendices right away. I listen on my phone while I drive.What does Tom Parks bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The book is a personal look at ministry and methods and listening to it brings that personal touch to the experience.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I was in tears at the end when Andy shared a story of the work of a teenage volunteer leader in a younger child's life because of similar experiences. I took it to our children's ministry leader right away and said "you are having an impact. Keep it up."Any additional comments?
Yesterday was discussing the book with a lay leader at another church and she said it was the most moving book she's read in a very long time.Taking my staff through this
