Synopses & Reviews
It's sad but true: The American church is shrinking...fast. God-loving people are leaving in droves, and everything that attracted them in the past simply doesn't work anymore.
Is there anything the church can do to turn the tide?
Why Nobody Wants to Go to Church Anymore reveals the truth about this steep decline, along with innovative ideas for changing the way people think about church. Through startling statistics, compelling stories, and a surprising Jesus-based approach, you'll be stretched to redefine the way you do church.
It all begins by embracing four simple acts of love:
- Radical hospitality
- Fearless conversation
- Genuine humility
- Divine anticipation
Far from theoretical musings, these practical acts show Jesus' love to people who crave it. You'll see why they really work, how they're taking root in hundreds of communities around the country, and how you can help bring people back into a relationship with God.
The time for changing the church is now. And the one who can change it is you.
