Come Quickly Dawn - Paperback

by George Patterson (Author)

A Training Novel

Come Quickly Dawn offers a unique reading experience. This fully integrated hybrid is both a fast-paced novel and an incisive training tool. It equips one to evangelize in a way that spreads like measles, to make disciples who actively obey Jesus, and to multiply churches or cells. The best way by far to prepare an effective shepherd or church multiplier is to do it as Jesus and Paul did it: take apprentices with them to where the action is happening. Its simulated trip conveys one out of a familiar comfort zone to a setting similar to that of many peoples among whom God is working powerfully, as in the book of Acts.

Author Biography

George Patterson has pioneered breakthroughs in pastoral and missional strategies. These involve integrating pioneer church planting with pastoral training through highly prolific mentoring "chains" as Paul advised, establishing churches on obedience to Christ's foundational commands rather than on abstract propositions, encouraging interactive instruction, and helping institutional churches launch a second, non-traditional track, allowing both tracks to love and edify each other. He has authored many stories, role-plays, and training manuals that are used in six continents.
