ISBN: 9780687007165.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHas your church fallen into a predictable routine? Is it drifting without purpose or resolve? Put an end to that by using Lyle E. Schallers potent prescription for passive churches.\n\nWritten for both lay and ordained congregational leaders, this timely book diagnoses the causes of church passivity, and formulates a method for combatting the problem. Dr. Schaller classifies churches according to their internal dynamics (rather than denomination or geographical location), and demonstrates how many have overcome the \"twenty-year syndrome\" - that awkward time when relatively new churches tend to lose their sense of direction. He also shows how churches can make a smooth transition from one pastor to another, and how new members can be used in establishing an effective church program.\n\nThe cumulative result of twenty years of experience in parish trouble-shooting, Dr. Schallers new book will be welcomed by church leaders everywhere who face the dreaded spectre of church passivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abingdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989425877045,"sku":"ByrdShop_068700716X","price":61.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780687007165_6601289e-7928-4638-b4bb-023be17e5393.jpg?v=1778643908","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/activating-the-passive-church-paper-9780687007165","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
