Synopsis

"We can't compete with the megachurch in our town!"

"A new church was started two blocks from us. We've got plenty of churches without them!"

"We can't reach young families. They all go to the big church that has all the children's and student stuff."

"We don't have the money or the people the other churches have."

Bestselling author Thom S. Rainer (I Am a Church Member, Autopsy of a Deceased Church) has heard comments like these hundreds, if not thousands, of times. They are statements of hopelessness. They are statements of despair. They are statements of defeat. Church leaders don't want to feel this way. They desire to break out of the mediocrity of the same, lame, and tame existence of their churches. They want their churches to make a difference.

There is hope. God's hope. God's possibilities.

What does a scrappy church look like? Let's take a look together.

It’s less practical this time, yet much more a plea. He seems to be asking us to take what he has been saying over several of his previ......more

Goodreads review by Jeffery on September 15, 2019

It was motivational and a good reminder that my church is ok. By reminder I mean, it reminds me of every other book that Rainer has written.......more

Goodreads review by Brett on August 19, 2019

Another Church resource book that Thom Rainer put out and another home run. Its easy to look at the decline of church attendance, the churches that are closing, the mega churches that are growing and become discouraged. However, should that be our attitude?! Thom Rainer dedicates this book to the "s......more

Goodreads review by Troy on February 10, 2019

I had a Church member give me this book a week ago today. The book was given to him by his dad that is a minister. First of all I am certain that Thom Rainer and I would not see eye to eye on different doctrinal issues. However, this book is good. First of all this book is meant to encourage and it......more
