Joel Littlefield’s short, highly practical book will inspire pastors to develop coalitions, for their own good, to strengthen the local church, and advance the Kingdom of God. With very practical guidance on how to go about forming these alliances for joint action, Littlefield helps identify the important qualities to look for in coalition members, and inspires readers to see how leading by example is crucial, and being a disciple is as important as making disciples.

When the church is facing an epidemic of discouragement, Joel calls us to the readily available vaccine of kingdom–minded togetherness. I have a sense that this may spark off a renewed movement of doctrinally–aligned and missionally–driven pastors.

The kingdom of Christ is bigger than your church, pastor. Joel Littlefield’s enthusiasm for pastors partnering together just may point you to a crucial aspect of kingdom ministry you’ve missed.

… offers practical guidance for creating healthy, Christ–centered, and edifying pastoral coalitions. May the irenic spirit of which Littlefield speaks prevail in our day for the sake of Christ and His kingdom!
