The Vanishing Church: Searching for Significance in the 21st Century by Pearle, Bob. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781934749395.

In a powerful and refreshingly honest approach, Pastor Bob Pearle looks realistically at the issues causing the growing irrelevance and weakness of churches today. What he presents will concern you, inspire you, and lead you to make your church more what the Bible intends. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, writes in his endorsement of Pearles book: "In a day when churches are captivated by every passing trend and pernicious teaching, Bob Pearle challenges the church to recover the authority of Gods Word over every area of life. He writes with the pen of a dedicated and experienced pastor. His book brings fresh light to the challenge of leading a church to faithfulness today." James T. Draper, Jr., president emeritus of LifeWay Christian Resources in Nashville, TN, writes in his endorsement: "Bob Pearle has addressed the most distressing issue facing the church today: its general decline in influence and growing irrelevancy in the current culture. This book addresses the issue and challenges us to rethink both the practices and the biblical foundation of the church. It will challenge your assumptions about the church and require a careful examination of the church and its role today."
