You Found Me

"""You Found Me is a breath of fresh air. Armed with research on the state of church outreach and the attitudes of the unchurched toward faith, Richardson charts a compelling vision for church outreach and evangelism in our new post-Christian world."" --From the foreword by Ed Stetzer ""At a time when many are assuming that the Christian movement across America is down for the count, Rick Richardson provides far more than a ray of hope. In his new book, You Found Me, Rick describes the strategies that the top 10 percent of churches growing through actual conversion (conversion communities) are using to make headway in evangelism, living out and joyfully sharing the good news. In my hometown of Portland, Oregon, a proudly progressive and unchurched place, we've seen great gospel progress through active engagement with our community, which is seeking to continually encourage and equip everyday believers to share their faith. Unchurched people are far more open than we give them credit for. There's so much more we can do to share in the harvest, which Jesus continues to assure us is ripe and ready!"" --Kevin Palau, president and chief executive officer of the Luis Palau Association ""I have long believed women and men, rooted in Scripture, passionate about the gospel, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit, can reach and change the world. Rick's book will help equip you to do it! May God raise up many leaders from among this generation who powerfully and effectively share and show their faith! I love this book."" --Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel Women ""Rick Richardson invites us to take our hands off the panic button and look at what the latest research is really telling us about the spiritual temperature of America. He says the data show that people are far more receptive to faith than we've been led to believe. And his own experience of engaging with unchurched people confirms it. You Found Me offers us fresh hope for launching missional communities that see genuine conversion growth. This book is fresh, inspiring, and deeply informed."" --Michael Frost, Morling College, Sydney ""There is no one I trust more as a guide for evangelism than my friend Rick Richardson. Rick and I have been in conversation for years about what it will take to reach people and disciple them in our contemporary culture. I am excited to see this book, based on wide-ranging, national research, come out. The spiritual sky is not falling. Rick will show you why. You Found Me will stimulate your imagination, enthuse and reshape your practice of spiritual conversations, and guide you to being simultaneously humble and fruitful."" --Todd Hunter, author, professor, and Anglican bishop"
