Autopsy of a Deceased Church

12 Ways to Keep Yours Alive

By: Thom S. Rainer

Narrated by: Maurice England

No one wants to see a church die. And yet, far too many churches are dying. For more than 25 years, Dr. Thom Rainer has helped churches grow, reverse the trends of decline, and has autopsied those that have died. From this experience, he has discovered 12 consistent themes among those churches that have died. Yet, it's not gloom and doom because from those 12 themes, lessons on how to keep your church alive have emerged. Whether your church is vibrant or dying, whether you are a pastor or a church member, Autopsy of a Deceased Church will walk you through the radical paths necessary to keep your church alive to the glory of God and advancement of Christ's Kingdom!

A must read for all little rural churches

Candid! This book gives a candid picture of what plagues the rural Church. Every council should read this and prayerfully consider where their congregation fits into the realities described.
