Emmaus Road: Churches Making Their Way ForwardWood Lake Publishing Inc., 2003 - 181 pages Using as their guide the story of the two disciples who meet the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus, Donna Sinclair and Christopher White move congregations beyond a search for silver bullet solutions, beyond a preoccupation with technique and programming, beyond a hope in simplistic formulas for success, to the qualities of character and faith that will help congregations in the years ahead.
