Exponential

Becoming a Level Five Multiplying Church continues a conversation started in the Exponential book Spark: Igniting a Culture of Multiplication, drilling down into more detail focusing on how we can each play our part in moving the needle on church multiplication. While Spark introduced these three core elements of culture, in this book Todd and Dave press more deeply into how we live them out. In this expanded version, Alan Hirsch also provides an additional chapter and comments throughout the book.
Focusing on the specifics of helping churches identify where they are on the multiplication scale (Levels 1 - 5) and what’s needed to become a Level 5 multiplying church, Todd and Dave champion multiplication and equip future church multipliers to move beyond the prevailing addition-growth scorecards. The bottom line, the authors say, is that we need to rethink the operating system that’s producing growth but not producing multiplication—and aim for more healthy Kingdom growth that’s focused on multiplication.

Ferguson, Dave

In this book, Exponential co-founder Todd Wilson and Will Mancini pour gasoline on the already blazing church multiplication conversation. This book is the sequel to Spark: Creating a Culture of Multiplication (2015) and Becoming a Level Five Multiplying Church (2016). Wilson and Mancini seek to help church leaders turn their aspirations and good intentions for multiplication into compelling visions with actionable strategies. The book is built on a solid foundation of strategic planning, looking through the lens of multiplication.

Multipliers embrace a scorecard that prioritizes releasing and sending over accumulating and growing.
Are you sensing that something’s just not right about our addiction, and possibly idolatry, to our accumulation cultures that produce cultural Christians?
Multipliers…take their cues from Jesus and seek to be fruitful and multiply. They are intentional about Jesus’ “go and make disciples” command (Matthew 28: 18-20) and fully embrace the leverage that comes from building capacity for disciple making through the multiplication of healthy, reproducing churches.
Multipliers: Leading Beyond Addition, addresses the important questions needed to help you become the Multiplier you are called to be! Questions like:
<ul>
<li>How do I know if I’m embracing the wrong scorecard for success?</li>
<li>How do I develop a vision for multiplication that changes my church and me?</li>
<li>How do I create a culture of multiplication that values sending over accumulating?</li>
<li>What tensions will I face in moving from Accumulator to Multiplier?</li>
<li>How do I move from being a hero to becoming a hero-maker?</li>
<li>How do I turn good intentions into action? </li>
</ul>
If you’re asking these questions, this new book is for you! Multipliers combines the best of Exponential’s multiplication-focused content into one single handbook for aspiring Multipliers who are committed to seeing the Kingdom advance!

ARE YOU LEAVING THE LEGACY OF A HERO MAKER?
Hero makers have a pattern of investing in others to bring forth their full potential. This releases them to invest in even more leaders. Essentially, they are disciple makers who make other disciple makers. Their scorecards are measured not by what they do or accumulate but by how they invest in others—and release their potential.
In this book, Dave Ferguson and Todd Wilson look at the essential characteristics of a hero maker and unpack at a deeper level the five hero-making practices identified in the book Hero Maker (by Dave Ferguson and Warren Bird):
<ul>
<li>Multiplication Thinking</li>
<li>Permission Giving</li>
<li>Disciple Multiplying</li>
<li>Gift Activating</li>
<li>Kingdom Building</li>
</ul>
This book focuses on the life and memory of Bob Buford, who was a true hero maker. Bob leaves a hero-making legacy of thousands of hero makers.
The Legacy of a Hero Maker is for pastors, leaders, and other disciple makers. After reading it, you will walk away with clarity on how you can help others become hero makers for the Kingdom!
Dave Ferguson is Lead Pastor of Community Christian Church and co-founder of Exponential. He also provides visionary leadership for NewThing.
Todd Wilson is President and CEO of Exponential (exponential.org), a community of activists devoted to church multiplication.

A COMPELLING AND BIBLICAL STRATEGY FOR PURSUING CHURCH MULTIPLICATION
Play Thuno—a wordplay on the Greek word for multiply—is the world-changing “game” every Christian and church needs to be playing. Larry Walkemeyer reveals how multiplication is not just one option for the church but is the operating principle for God’s people from Genesis to Revelation. 
Many leaders feel angst about the church model of addition that’s prevalent today, but they do not have adequate resources to help them explain the alternative: multiplication. This book serves as the instructional and inspirational handbook every church leader needs to understand the why of multiplication.
Walkemeyer offers an engaging narrative that moves multiplication from concept to eternity-altering reality.
Gain clarity on multiplication. Discover deceptions that often derail your efforts to reproduce. Learn practical principles for multiplication, twenty-one leadership essentials for multiplication, and five phases for multiplication. Most importantly, become a convinced communicator of multiplication through this book’s compelling, Scripture-based motivation for churches to multiply.
God is calling every believer to get in the “game” of multiplication. Are you ready to play?
“It would be difficult for me to more enthusiastically endorse a new book.”
