Ed Stetzer has written the new standard in church planting books. -- Steve Sjogren, author of Conspiracy of Kindness

If I could buy only one book on church planting this would be my first. This book is a timely gift to the church of Jesus Christ. No one should try to plant a church without it. -- Timothy George, Dean, Beeson Divinity School

Planting Missional Churches
After finishing Ed Stezter's first book on church planting "Planting Churches in a Postmodern Age", I was looking forward to reading his second book on church planting "Planting Missional Churches". I found it to be an update of the previous book. There was new material and some of what had been in the first book is now on his web site. However, this is an excellent handbook for the mission planter covering theology and philosophy of church planting, but much practical advice including things like finances, facilities and personnel, among many other topics. Some are treated in a cursory manner, others in much more depth. There is some advice that other experts in the field would question, but overall it is a solid handbook. I recommend it highly.

Well worth reading.
If you want to learn the best way to plant a missional church, all of the ups and downs and remain Biblically sound, this book is a definite read.

why and how-to
very practical for American contexts. options and models for planting churches, mostly based traditional pastor-layperson split, but have some other possibilities as well - small group church without oversight by larger church, replication.
