Rescuing the Church
()
About this ebook
When looking at polls and surveys of the overall church in America today we cannot help but realize it is slowly sinking. Eighty percent of the churches today are stagnant or in decline with people leaving and church doors closing at an alarming rate. What must we do? We seem to have all the modern-day technology to help fuel church growth; television, internet, podcast, live streaming, text messaging, emailing, digital bible studies, and the endless list goes on but still the church declines. We have nice buildings, coffee shops, padded chairs, life groups, a long list of children, youth and adult programs, but still, the church declines. What must we do? "Rescuing the Church" uncovers what we must do to get the church back on the right path! This is a short easy read but its message is for the church in America right now!
