In Summer 2007 James and his family spent three weeks in a beach hut in Somerset. They were broken, confused, disappointed and desperate. After 13 years of effort in ministry, they were having to walk away into the unknown. During those three weeks, however, a miracle happened. They received a “heavenly download”, the blueprint of a church God was asking them to build, back in James’ home town of Stoke on Trent - consistently described as one of the UK’s worst cities.
So began a three year rollercoaster ride that has seen Breathe City Church explode in growth, expanding its membership by a factor of 10 with 70% of its growth coming from first time conversions. In this book James shares the blueprint God gave him: 7 cultural pillars that were to utterly redefine the church and its people.
This book does not set out to provide a model others can copy to guarantee growth. That would be missing the point. James shows us how to receive our own revelation from God regarding our own town or city.
Then he provides a wealth of wise advice on how to implement God’s plan and overcome the challenges and obstacles that will certainly exist. A book for every leader who wants to see their church break through and make an impact.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    A wonderfully designed book with short concise chapters, short church testimonies from the congregation at Breathe City Church in Stoke on Trent, and an insight of how you build and grow a church and how it could be done in other places too, though to a degree this is not the purpose of the book. It’s not a blueprint or step by step guide, rather it is an insight into how God has worked in one situation and amongst the people active there and how the author, James Galloway, one of the lead pastors of that church believes that in so doing God has shared some insights that others can benefit from too. I guess if I had to call this book anything I would class it as a testimony of a church, and that is a wonderful thing. Interspersed with this testimony and teaching is also some great biblical insight and even some pastoral counselling insight too – all good foundations for any church and any testimonial. For anyone interested in church planting or looking for new insights to help repurpose their church this book would be a really good read.
