The People Are the Mission

<p><strong>If you're a leader in a church or business and you want to improve your culture of hospitality then you'll love Danny's new book. It's a must-read! -Dan T. Cathy <em> CEO Chick-fil-A</em></strong></p><p>When it comes to interacting with guests churches typically gravitate towards one of two camps: over-the-top shock-and-awe let-us-entertain-you or oh-man -some-people-just-showed-up underwhelming experience. Each extreme has drawbacks: on one end people become the center of the universe. On the other hospitality is effectively ignored in deference to the serious business of worship.</p><p><em>People Are the Mission</em> proposes a healthy middle one where guests are esteemed but the gospel is the goal. Danny Franks Connections Pastor at Summit Church shows churches how to take a more balanced approach - a third way that is both guest-friendly and gospel-centric. He shows why honoring the stranger doesn't stand in opposition to honoring the Savior. People <em>are</em> the mission that Christ has called us to and if we focus on people we can better assist people to focus on the gospel.</p>
