TAG is proud to announce our new suite of resources based on the principles outlined in the latest and much anticipated book by Kevin Graham Ford, Transforming Church. In our work with hundreds of churches and denominational leaders across the country, we have discovered a real need for practical tools to help them implement the concepts of this book. Each tool in the suite is designed for easy application, and to bring about relevant change. They are stand alone products, but are best used as part of a larger comprehensive program. To learn more about this great church resource and see other relevant products see: http://www.transformingchurch.net/
