Slow Church Book Launch

This page has been created especially for folks who want to help us spread the word about the release of our book, Slow Church: Cultivating Community in the Patient Way of Jesus.

On this page, you’ll find a number of resources that we’ve put together to make it as easy as possible to share Slow Church with friends. These include shareable quotes, key endorsements, early reviews, a digital sampler, direct links to a few places where the book is for sale, and other ways to connect with the Slow Church conversation online. You’ll also find a link to a discount package we’re offering for book clubs and Sunday school classes.

As you will see, we have VERY limited design skills, so of course feel free to create your own images, quotes, etc.!

We’re asking folks to use the hashtag #SlowChurch when posting on social media.

Thank you so very much. You’ll never know how humbled and deeply grateful we are for all of the support you’ve given us.

Digital Sampler

This digital sampler — created by our publisher, InterVarsity Press — includes the book’s introduction, a sample chapter, and the book’s Table of Contents. If “Slow Church” is structured around a shared meal, we like to think of this sampler as the appetizer!

Here are a few of the places Slow Church will be available to purchase starting tomorrow. Some brick and mortar stores – Powell’s, Barnes & Noble, etc. – have copies of the book coming into the store but they may not be on the shelves yet.
