      “Do you have a grip on what renews a parish? Most parish leaders face frustrations trying to articulate just how to help their parishes. In Made for Mission Glemkowski clearly lays out a practical, facts-based approach to parish revitalization and inspires a strategic focus on what really matters to me, to Real Life Catholic, and to the whole Church: the salvation offered by Jesus Christ and his mandate to make disciples. Evangelization truly is the Church’s deepest identity. Get this book. Read this book. Let your leadership be transformed by this book.”

      — Chris Stefanick

      Speaker, author, and founder of Real Life Catholic

      “Made for Mission identifies the real crisis in the Church today as a pervasive failure to form authentic disciples. I couldn’t agree more! But Tim also delivers on the practical side with tangible step-by-step guidance and tools to help you actually do it in your parish. Highly recommended!”

      — Jim Beckman

      Executive Director of Evangelization & Catechesis,

      Archdiocese of Oklahoma City

      “A bold vision for parishes is desperately needed today. Tim Glemkowski provides one that is clear, practical, and inspiring. You’ve got to read this book!”

      — Kevin Cotter, Executive Director of The Amazing Parish

      “Made for Mission: Renewing Your Parish Culture outlines a clear path to discipleship based on wisdom and principles that have been tested in other parishes. Tim Glemkowski weaves together a convincing case for parish renewal that is practical and accessible, sharing engaging stories and in sights drawn from his work across the country. A compelling read.”

      — Julianne Stanz, Director of Parish Life and

      Evangelization, Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin

      “Now I can see! Constantly bombarded with competing interests, we need someone to clearly ‘paint the picture’ for us, portraying both what’s being communicated and our role in it. To any pastor or parish leader seeking guidance with their goals and efforts, this book is at the very top of my list of recommendations!”

      — Father Matthew Wertin, Vicar for the

      New Evangelization, Diocese of Pueblo

      “The heart of this book is a new vision for parishes, rooted in the process of evangelization. Tim makes this vision clear and practical. But it won’t be easy. There’s only one thing left to change the future of our parishes: pastors and their staff embracing this challenging vision.”

      — Edmund Mitchell, Director of Evangelization and

      Catechesis, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church,

      Grapevine, Texas
