Overview

Breaking the Huddle, is a compilation of messages that have been a part of the author's lecture series on church growth. If a football team is to be successful, it must break the huddle and run the play. Likewise, the church must do the same. Dr. McCalep asserts that the problem with the local church is that it very seldom breaks the huddle. The analogy is a strong creative illustration of what the church must do if she is to be obedient to God's purpose. About the Author Dr. George O. McCalep, Jr., earned a Bachelor of Science from Alabama A & M College, a Master of Science from the University of Kansas, a masters degree in administration and supervision from John Carroll University, a PhD from Ohio State University, and a Master of Divinity from Morehouse School of Religion.
