For this month's Book Review, we are excited to share Major Everett Barrow's (Corps Health Director) review of Thom S. Rainer's book, "Anatomy of a Revived Church." Read his review below!
There is hope for struggling churches, but a critical decision will determine the outcome: will we choose "change" or "closure"? In this short book, Anatomy of a Revived Church, Thom S. Rainer points out the findings of churches that choose change and experience revitalization, including accepting responsibility, overcoming the traps of tradition, committing to powerful prayer, dealing with the 'toxins,' and choosing meaningful membership. I encourage you to pick up this book, read it for yourself, and then share it with your ministry/mission board or other leaders in your corps. A quick read with great impact!
