My friend Joel Comiskey is a combination of a local church practitioner and a painstaking
scholar. Joel spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars visiting eight of the highest-visibility
cell group churches to interview their leaders and record his findings. I love this book
because it focuses on the multiplication of cells for the greatest evangelistic results. (C.Peter Wagner, Author, Scholar, and Church Growth Expert)
Comiskey does not just describe what is happening in cell churches. He takes the next step
and identifies in a step-by-step fashion how we can apply these principles in our churches. It
is all here-everything we need to know to start and grow a cell group ministry. I am grateful to
Dr. Comiskey, for the time, effort, and research that has gone into producing this long-needed
book. (Richard Peace, Ph.D., Professor of Evangelism and Spiritual Formation,
Fuller Theological Seminary)
Joel and I shared many days in Bogota as this book was written. His grasp of cell church
models is superior to any other person I have worked with: this book is a treasure of information
for church planters and pastors wishing to transition to the cell model. (Ralph W. Neighbour, Jr., Author, and Pioneer Church Planter)
