From the Author:
All across America people have given up on the local church. With the largest majority of churches, either plateaued or or declining, is there any wonder why? Maybe you find yourself in such a church. You could be the pastor, a ministry leader, a small group leader, a musician, or even simply a participant, but when you look at the health of your church and it’s effectiveness, you are concerned! What we know to be true is that church is all over America are experiencing a spiritual heart problem. Likewise, individual Jesus followers are also experiencing spiritual heart problems.
If this speaks to where you are, then this book is for you! Within the pages of this book you are going to define the spiritual heart problem you and/or your church are facing. You are going to discover symptoms which make the problem evident. You will find some very practical ways to develop a strategy to help your own spiritual life and the life of the church to revitalize and rediscover spiritual heart health. Finally, you will to be coached to deploy proven methods of discipleship, outreach, ministry, missions and prayer.
Church leaders across America who have taken this book and applied the truths after a careful examination of themselves have found great success in moving from “death to life“ and experiencing genuine revitalization! This is my prayer for you!
