This moving story, told in Ken Blanchard's appealing parable style, shows how a local church can be either a blessing or a curse to their community.
The Most Loving Place in Town is the story of two men, a disillusioned church elder and a gifted young pastor, who recognize that their church has lost sight of its number one priority—loving God and each other.
The two men begin an independent search to recapture their lost love for God, the church, and others. Together they then lead their fellowship in a discovery of the secret to becoming a beacon of love in their community. By the end of the story you will see why this simple, yet profound, secret is vital, along with learning how to apply it to your life and the life of your church.
"A great story. Jesus placed all his bets on the mastering of love by his people. Read it—and get to work!"
~ John Ortberg, pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, and author of When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box
