Look Inside Here 🔎
A church leadership fable about how to combat the silent killer of churches.
Oliver, lead pastor of Connection Church, couldn’t put his finger on why he felt so unsettled. Everything seemed to be going right at Connection—that was until he asked a task force what had happened to one church member: Jill. Oliver couldn’t have known how his one simple question could lead to an unraveling of what was really happening within the church.
In this book, respected church consultant, founder and CEO of Church Answers, and author of several church leadership books, Thom S. Rainer, shows how the trend of low church attendance is slowly undermining churches and sending many to the grave. With this leadership parable, Thom illustrates the five key dysfunctions that plague congregations and block healthy church growth. He demonstrates why church leaders need to pay more attention to core issues like unbelief, membership, and dedication to evangelism.
