Synopsis

Nine out of ten churches in America are either declining or growing slower than the community in which they are located. Stated simply, 90 percent of American churches are losing ground in their communities. Change is not an option; it is an urgent need. We don’t change our doctrines and biblical foundations, but we do change our methodologies and approaches for this rapidly changing culture. Based on the studies, consultations, and research of over 50,000 churches, best-selling author, Thom S. Rainer, shares how effective change has taken place in many churches. While it is not a formulaic approach, Who Moved My Pulpit? is a clear guide for church leaders who are not satisfied with the status quo, and who yearn for their churches and ministries to make a kingdom difference. True transformational change in the church is possible.

Rainer writes with a direct simplicity that I appreciate. "Who Moved My Pulpit" is written to pastors who have struggled with leading their church through change.

Goodreads review by Brooke on July 18, 2016

I'm not sure the low rating is deserved by the author, or if it goes deservingly to the American church. I couldn't wrap my mind around how petty church-goers can be.......more
