Synopsis

World-renowned pollster George Barna has the numbers, and they indicate a revolution is already taking place within the Church—one that will impact every believer in America. Committed, born-again Christians are exiting the established church in massive numbers. Why are they leaving? Where are they going? And what does this mean for the future of the Church? Using years' worth of research data, and adhering to an unwavering biblical perspective, Barna predicts how this revolution will impact the organized church, how Christ's body of believers should react, and how individuals who are considering leaving (or those who have already left) can respond. For leaders working for positive change in the church and for believers struggling to find a spiritual community and worship experience that resonates, Revolution is here. Are you ready?

Not the best book out there on this subject, but it's okay. In my opinion, the author doesn't sound like he had passed through the cynical phase when this book was written.

Goodreads review by Thomas

Even if Barna's approach is over-dramatic, his data and ability to read social trends is spot on. The institutionalized churches in the US are becoming less and less effective. Revolution attempts to examine experience, statistical date, and the Scriptures to discover why and what alternatives exist......more

Goodreads review by Jon

Incredible stats, but a lot of "fluff" in regard to theological implications of a revolutionary movement and the labels he addresses throughout. While his arguments were unconvincing, I found the data to be indispensable.......more

Wow! This book was awesome. If anyone asked me to hand them a book about where I am spiritually, I would give them a copy of this book. This book so describes me and my family. It was encouraging and reignited my passion to live for God, no matter the cost. I am a revolutionary!......more
