DESCRIPTION

By the time The New York Times magazine featured a front-page account of Elk River, Minnesota's faith-filled citywide transformation, Rick Heeren and the pastors and marketplace leaders of Elk River had been working together for nearly 10 years on the transformation process. Here, Rick shares his story and many other motivating how-to accounts of businesses, schools and communities that have invited God to be at the center and seen miraculous turn arounds.

You will read accounts of:

• How one company in Minnesota planted 600 churches in Ukraine
• How a school on the edge of survival became one of the best Christian schools in the United States
• How one woman's self-published book is blossoming into a movie
• Why a prison in Minnesota is changing - one man at a time

Heeren also shares practical ideas for readers who want to bring about transformation in their own communities. He urges Christians to align their thinking with God's thinking and take the actions God shows them to take. Then, he shows how dedicating everything to God and meeting people in the marketplace at their point of need with excellent business service, prayer and the gospel can transform communities and nations and begin to end systemic poverty.

Ordinary people. Extraordinary miracles.
