A theologically grounded, practical and user-friendly guide for church leaders seeking to save their churches.

The book:

• Offers a clear process to help congregations understand their situation by taking an honest “look in the mirror.”
  
  
• Helps congregations build a realistic roadmap for moving forward.
  
  
• Illustrates how the status quo (institutionalism) is rewarded and that seeking transformation goes against institutionalism.
  
  
• Outlines what it means to be an adept church, a church that can navigate between a rock and a hard place because it makes decisions based upon where it needs to go and not where it is currently.
  
  
• Provides practical, first step for congregations to move forward.
