Robinson then maps out five practical steps to help your pioneering initiative move from vision to multiplication, as the ripples of your own life flow out to the community you are called to love and serve. Whether you're starting out on a new venture or already in the throes of a church plant, this is an essential travel guide for those on the pioneering journey.

While sitting on her patio, LeVerta Massey watched children throwing stones into a lake and the ripples their playing caused. The Holy Spirit spoke to her that day, telling her that personal evangelism is the same. Every stone tossed into that muddy lake was the love of God being expressed by His people, and the ripples were the Word, spreading farther and farther. Priceless Stones and Endless Ripples provides real-life examples of personal evangelism. This is a spiritually rich, deeply reverential book that shows the significance of God’s love and grace in our lives. Every time you touch a life through your testimony or conduct, that touch has a ripple effect. You touch a life today, that life touches another life, and so on it goes. As we journey toward the afterlife, throw a pebble into the lake, and watch ripples of compassion, peace, and grace spread to those you love and beyond.
