As El Niño weakens the number of hurricanes usually rises. This is not such a good thing if you are living in a tent in Haiti. It also tends to mean that Arizona can expect the upcoming winter to be drier. ~ link

Brad,

I think if you put together a book where 50 different people share the good news for their city and a church invited you to speak and decided to give one to each person who came,you would find a way to make it missional. LOL. Of course from a publishers standpoint, and an editors standpoint its a no brainer.

I think the book is a great idea. And giving it away is good, too. I'm just musing about the fact that the line between "missional" and "attractional" is not always so clean. And that's okay by me.

I hear you and sometimes it can seem like a false dichotomy.
