The Five Star Church Book

How does a restaurant or hotel earn a five-star rating? Is it the people? The location? The service? The amenities? In most cases, it is all of this and more: an overall sense that the customer is to be valued, honored and treated well. Jesus' life was like that: a sacrificial offering of love for those He loved and cared about. In The Five-Star Church, pastors/authors Stan Toler and Alan Nelson provide innovative ideas on how to transform your church based on Jesus' model of servant hood. With humor and fresh insight, they provide tangible steps on how to build a church whose number one goal is to serve God and others—the marks of a five-star church.
