God created the institution of the family and the institution of the local church with distinct purposes. Both exist for the glory of God and the spreading of the Gospel. Limited Church: Unlimited Kingdom seeks to reclaim the simple, transformational, and global mission revealed in Scripture for both the church and family. Rob Rienow shares from a heart for ministry and gives significant insight based on his ministry experience as well as the experiences of others. His motivation for writing is to see churches and families have a lasting impact on future generations. This book establishes a solid foundation for any church ministry. "In a culture where it's assumed that a full calendar equals a full life and pragmatism has become the order of the day, Rob Rienow offers a radically counter-culture alternative: the limitless kingdom of God experienced in the context of a focused church that's been freed to be what Jesus formed the church to be. Excellent studies that move beyond the hype to get at what really matters in the field of family ministry." Timothy Paul Jones, Ph.D., Professor at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY "Rob Rienow calls the Christ-follower, the family, and the church to wrestle with a magnificently ignored doctrine in western Christianity--the sufficiency of Scripture for every area of life. This is a timely work that every pastor, church leader, husband, wife, parent, grandparent, and Christian should read. I think this book is one more step forward in a movement of Christ-centered churches and homes across our land committed to propagating the globe and the generations with the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Brian Haynes, Lead Pastor Bay Area First Baptist Church, and author of Shif t "As a parent and a pastor, this book was a welcomed reminder that disciple making begins in the home." Kelly Brady, Pastor of Glen Ellyn Baptist Church, Glen Ellyn, IL "Rob Rienow has helped us to articulate and clarify the church's role and the centrality of the family for advancing the Gospel. The stakes we are putting in the ground as a family ministry stand firmer as we seek to follow God's plan for our church."
