The authors write in an engaging, dialogical style, offering practical guidance and rich wisdom for leaders who are striving to turn around a dying or stagnant church.

Principles for church leadership are important, but just as important is knowing when and how to implement them. This is strategy and it can make or break a leader’s work. And what about results?
