The Garage at Living Faith
It started with one man fixing cars in his driveway because he believed people were worth it. Today The Garage at Living Faith, a ministry of a small church in Fombell, Pennsylvania, fixes cars for free for hundreds of families a year.
These four books tell the story from four sides. Each is written for a different reader. You can read them in any order, but they build on each other.
Under the Hood
Why We Fix Cars, and Why That's Not Really the Point
Every car that comes through our doors is broken. So is every person who comes with it. That's not an insult. It's a diagnosis.
Full Service
The Volunteer's Guide to Worship with a Wrench
You're not a healthy person helping a sick person. You're one person who's received grace helping another person who needs it.
Turn the Key
A Church Leader's Guide to Starting Outreach Ministries That Last
It started with one man fixing cars in his driveway. A decade later it serves hundreds of families a year from a small rural church. None of that was planned. All of it was faithful.
Second Fiddle
What Nobody Tells You About Bi-Vocational Ministry
Most books about ministry are written from the pastor's study. This one was written at four in the morning, before a full day at work, by a pastor who has served his church for twenty-five years without taking a salary.
Give one, read one, lead with one
Churches with a hands-on outreach ministry use the series as a set: Under the Hood to hand to the people they serve, Full Service for the volunteer team, and Turn the Key for the leaders deciding what to start next. Second Fiddle is for the pastor carrying it all alongside a day job, and the spouse who carries it too.
Every book has discussion questions at the back, organized by chapter.
