Every month that goes by in the current church in America, “Rethinking Outreach” is a book that will be urgently needed more and more. John clearly explains why the current/past methods of pastors & church leaders simply won’t work anymore if the Christian church is to survive in our country. We need entirely new ways of approaching ministry & the communities our churches exist in–and John offers to be our guide on that journey. He guides us by combining important data from extensive research, real stories of pastors struggling through church decline, personal experience, and lots of practical steps to help churches re-focus their mission to become more community-oriented. And this important shift can change everything for growing God’s Kingdom!
