{"product_id":"maximize","title":"Maximize!","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlending rich small-church theology with corresponding practical outcomes, Maximize! convinces small-church\npastors, elders, deacons, children's and youth workers, worship leaders, and members that small size is not a liability\nbut a trait begging to be utilized for maximum benefit to all. Readers will see that their-size church is well-suited for\nfulfilling God's mission and in fact has advantages. Maximize! does not pit small against big; it is not about what size\nis best but about how to be the best at any given size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThirty years in the making, the lessons in Maximize! have been continually refined as author Ron Klassen has taught\nthem in classes and dozens of seminars, counseled, encouraged, overseen, and mentored hundreds of pastors, and\ninteracted with small-church attendees from every state in the US and most provinces of Canada. Too often, those in\nsmall churches are apologetic about their church's size, too quick to see weaknesses and limitations, too prone to\ncompare their church with bigger churches and come away feeling inferior. Too often, those in small churches try to\nemulate big churches but come up short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than trying to imitate large churches, small churches do well to study themselves and their communities, and\nthen prayerfully design ministries uniquely suited for their size, place, and time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ron Klassen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45283297984831,"sku":"9781632695895","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8883\/6671\/products\/10087338_LRG.jpg?v=1686021621","url":"https:\/\/www.aslanchristianbooks.com\/products\/maximize","provider":"Aslan Christian Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
