What do a chiropractor and a mechanic have in common? They both understand the importance of Alignment. Once aligns the spine for the health of the body while the other aligns the car for better tire wear and handling. The reason why many churches are unhealthy and leaders are wearing themselves out is because they are not in alignment. This book examines the strategies of alignment that will release the blessings of the Kingdom of God in your life and ministry.

Any leader that is yearning to understand what God is doing today would benefit by reading Alignment. In these days of transition from the Church age to a full Kingdom expression, alignment is the key to crossing over. If you will read Alignment, you will get to the other side much more quickly.
Dr. Chuck Pierce, President, Glory of Zion International
A book like Alignment could only be written by an apostle who is also a pastor. Mark Pfeifer fits the bill perfectly. This is the best guidebook I have seen to explain simply and powerfully how a local church can become apostolic through and through. Every pastor should read and breathe from it.
C. Peter Wagner, International Coalition of Apostles
In this newest book Alignment, Mark Pfeifer gives us cutting edge strategies and sound principles that will enable and empower the body of Christ to build progressive ministries of impact. Our ministry has adopted and put into practice some of these revelatory insights resulting in new levels of fruit and stability. I personally and highly recommend this book as a must read for those ministries who want to go to the next level.
Apostle Les Bowling, Eagle Rock Ministries
