This latest addition to the IXMarks series tells the story of the revitalization of Guilford Baptist Church in northern Virginia. Weaving together scripture and biblical principles with humor and personal anecdotes, author Michael McKinley asserts that a pastor's faithful exposition of God's Word, passion for sharing the gospel, and care in the training of other godly leaders are more important than the size of his church.
McKinley honestly shares his own fears and rookie mistakes, along with encouraging stories of how God moved at Guilford Baptist. We are reminded that God uses weak and fearful pastors in plants and revitalizations; church planting is indeed for "wimps." For pastors and seminarians considering a church plant and those already struggling in their own fledgling congregations, this book is a thoughtful and encouraging resource.

Church Planting Is for Wimps
Overall, a simple yet helpful book. As I'm soon about to be going to a small church and trying to revitalize and grow, this was encouraging, it got me thinking in a bunch of different ways, and it provided a few insights that I think will be invaluable. For this, I'm very glad this book exists and I'd recommend it to anyone.
However, the reason it is only 4 stars is for a two reasons that couldn't be ignored. First, his example of church revitalization seemed so extreme that it almost wasn't relatable (the way the church was, how he found it, etc.). Second, a few times in the book he puts important life-changes on his wife's hearing from God (not audibly, but still hearing). He says it almost in a joking manner, but still, a couple big decisions in their life came because his wife just knew because God had told her. Seems this shouldn't be in a book about church planting, especially coming from a solid publisher like 9 Marks.
But besides these two problems, the emphasis on Scripture and preaching, on God building his church, on loving people, and on raising leaders were all excellent. I'll definitely be reading it again soon.
