    A must read, especially those who have been in the ministry for years.
  

*by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2013*

Even if you have been in the ministry for a years, this book is a must read, why?  Many times we look above ground so to speak to see if our church is or is not doing well.  By well, I mean, is our church doing what God's will is to impact lives for Christ?  The problem with the "above ground look" is often times the issue is at the root, the culture of our church.As an example, the traditions of the church are treated as if they are a "thus saith The Lord." when in fact they are personal preferences. Jim's book "Dirt Matter" points out the need to look at the culture of your church and identify those things that are the non-negotiable,"Thus saith God", verses this is how we've done it in the past, or this is the personal preferences of a few that have been here for many years. In doing so, traditions can be treated as such so the church can move on so it is relevant to today's culture. Jim's book is easy to read, flows naturally and it's points are useful and applicable.  Lastly, Jim and his Elder Team practice what is explained in this book.  I can say this first hand as he and three of his Elder's met with our Elder team to help us wrestle through exactly what is contained within this books pages.  It was a very helpful experience and our prayerful desire is to make our chuch what God intends it to be for the needs of our community.Ron GoodExecutive MinisterCentral Church of Christ.

    Dirt DOES Matter
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2019*

The author provides a great picture of how dirt impacts that harvest in the natural, gardening and farming. He provides great biblical value with great references. He then brings this into the guidance and leadership the local pastor provides his church and how the pastor can begin to add the ingredients to the soil (culture) of the local church! Great read!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jim did a great job defining the need for healthy soil to grow a healthy church. Many helpful insights and tips to a vital strong fellowship!
