Roadmap to Renewal: Rediscovering the Church's Mission

Accolades for the book . . .

Doug Ruffle’s “Roadmap to Renewal” is a compelling portrayal of Christianity’s true identity as a roadside, not roadless religion. Let this book restore your church’s roadworthiness by showing you how all roads to the future lead through mission.  --Leonard Sweet, Drew University, George Fox University, sermons.com

Roadmap to Renewal provides a practical guide for congregations seeking to journey toward greater health and ministry potential.  --Dr. Bob Logan, President, CoachNet International Ministries

In this fascinating and stimulating book, Dr. Ruffle writes, “When you are on a road trip you have to stop and get out and stretch” (p.61). Ruffle invites us to do the same by offering penetrating thoughts, practical illustrations and provoking questions, all of which contain Biblical undergirding. Ruffle provides us an exciting road map to discover and fulfill the church’s mission. This is a must-read for those who have a passion to make disciples for Jesus Christ in this present age.  --Rev. Dr. Sudarshana Devadhar, Resident Bishop, Greater New Jersey Annual Conference, The United Methodist Church
