This book will help every church leave the building and go Across the Street and Around the World with the gospel. Our churches should be on mission with God and want to share the good news of Jesus. This book includes many practical tools on how to carry out that mission. I suggest you buy it and use the ideas to touch and change lives... Across the Street and Around the World.

After reading this book, you will be out of excuses for not participating in Gods mission to get the gospel to other people. There are more ideas here than can be done by any person or church. Read this book with spiritual sensitivitylooking for the projects and possibilities that leap off the page and demand to be done. Then, get going! No more excuses.

You know what I love about this book? Its practical and brimming with one-step ideas to make a difference for Christ in a community. Filled with so many easy suggestions for ways to connect and share, Diana and Autumn have the pulse of todays Christian woman. I poured over ideas and more than once said, Of course! Why didnt I think of that? I would recommend this book to ministry leaders, wives and moms, and anyone who wants to make a difference in someones life.

I have had the privilege of knowing Autumn Wall for over 15 years. She and her husband, Yale, have not only lived out this message but have rallied, encouraged, and brought others into the reality of the power of reaching people with the love of Jesus who many times, would never be reached without them. Thank you, Autumn and Diana, for putting together this work. We are blessed by your life and look forward to the impact this book will have for the kingdom of God.
