"I'm so grateful for Aubrey and his work. This book is a must-read for every church planter. Practical, biblical, concise, and comprehensive are all words that I would use to describe it. Read it and learn--keep it --Bob Roberts, Jr., senior pastor, NorthWood Church; author of Glocalization   
"The Nuts and Bolts of Church Planting is a comprehensive (all-in-one) church-planting tool that is not model specific.

"In 1994 Aubrey Malphurs wrote one of the only books on church planting I could find to help start Church @ The Springs. It was an invaluable resource to that generation of church planters. The Nuts and Bolts of Church Planting will serve this generation of church planters the same way. Great resource and profound wisdom! Thanks, Aubrey, for continuing to invest in church planters."--Ron Sylvia, lead pastor, Church @ The Springs
