"For years, Exponential has championed the Level 5 language for multiplication. Many church leaders have found it inspiring but very difficult to attain. Dietrich's twelve shifts are designed to help you think practically about what's hindering multiplication in your local church or movement."
-- Ed Stetzer, Jeff Christopherson, and Daniel Yang, Send Institute
"With the savvy of a seasoned veteran, the wisdom of a sage, and the creativity of a think-tank researcher, Dietrich Schindler challenges us to counterintuitively rethink our approach to church planting."
-- Craig Ott, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, coauthor Global Church Planting
