Transforming Austin - A God Story, Paperback

How does a city known as the atheist capital of the world become the worship capital of the world? What has to happen to move pastors from working in isolation behind their own church walls to joining in a unified thrust to change their city? This is an account of transformation, exploring how God takes individuals, with passion for His purpose, and molds them into groups that grow into movements. Our story winds through history, spotlighting men and women who have been forerunners and spark plugs, and shining light on the principles of transformation they discovered. This book is not meant to glorify a city in Texas, but rather to call attention to how the Lord changes cities and to help you focus on how He wants to change yours.
