Biblical Church Revitalization: Solutions for Dying & Divided Churches
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
There is a unique and special power and testimony in not just a vibrant local church full of life, but an old historic one that had lost its way, was on life support, and into which God saw fit to breathe life once again. Biblical Church Revitalization calls us to an intentional commitment to church revitalization in the face of dying and divided churches.
