About this audiobook
Nine out of ten churches in America are either declining or growing slower than the community in which they are located. Stated simply, 90 percent of American churches are losing ground in their communities. Change is not an option; it is an urgent need. We don't change our doctrines and biblical foundations, but we do change our methodologies and approaches for this rapidly changing culture. Based on the studies, consultations, and research of over 50,000 churches, best-selling author, Thom S. Rainer, shares how effective change has taken place in many churches. While it is not a formulaic approach, Who Moved My Pulpit? is a clear guide for church leaders who are not satisfied with the status quo, and who yearn for their churches and ministries to make a kingdom difference. True transformational change in the church is possible.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book! I was given a hard copy several years ago at the NACC.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a great book on breathing new life into unhealthy churches!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very practical guide in leading a church through change. Steps are provided to help a church move to a place of fulfilling the Great Commission without alienating those resistant to any change. Very good resource, though the size of these books means that you probably will need to supplement with more detailed works. Still, this is a very valuable resource, as the meat of the book is very accessible, as that's basically all that's included.
