With Rick Rusaw I am the co-author of The Externally Focused Church, Living a Life on Loan, The Externally Focused Life, and The Externally Focused Quest. With my long-time friend Sam Williams I wrote To Transform a City: Whole Church, Whole Gospel, Whole City and with my friend and co-worker wrote my first novel--Fourteen Fridays: a story of baseball, church, data and redemption.
