Reclaiming Glory

Revitalizing Dying Churches

De: Mark Clifton

Narrado por: Mike Chamberlain

What is there about a dying church that brings glory to God? Mark Clifton's convicting answer is "nothing". Because a local church is intended to represent the work of God in a community, when that church "loses it saltiness", not only is God's work pictured as irrelevant in that community, but also dishonor and disrepute may well become associated with God's name as a result.

In Reclaiming Glory, Clifton draws not only upon his own burden for revitalizing dying churches but also upon years of church replanting experience to offer passionate counsel for how to breathe new life into a dying church...all for the glory of the God who is building his church upon the immovable rock of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

He brings the butter and the biscuits

Mark‘s book is amazing and encouraging. I think it’s worthwhile for a lot of pastors.
Every rule or small church pastor should take a look at this book. The audio of the book is great quality, the only thing could’ve made it better if Mark himself would read the book. Definitely worth the money. Definitely worth your time.

Fantastic

This book beats the heart of what the church is meant to be. Very edifying.

The Glory of God can be reclaimed in our church.

Great information for restoring and building to obtain the Glory of God in our Churches.

Positive advice for pastors of declining churches

Throughpersonal stories and real life examples of pastors who have revitalized dying churches, this book offers hope and encouragement to others who are trying to do the same.

Concise and honest

This is a very honest look at an area with much need. Do we need to plant new churches or help bring dying churches back to life? I highly recommend this book to all church leaders of struggling churches.

Overall good points

Before you start reading this you have to understand that this book is NOT egalitarian, but the essence of it is very good and accurate, also offers very practical steps to follow.

Good Points, but very Exclusive toward women

Informative, but very misogynistic to have been written in the 20-teens. Throughout the book, church leaders, pastors, planters and re-planters were only referred to as male.
i.e. young men, men, he/him/his. The only times women were referenced were as congregants or pastor's wives. It's very unfortunate that, still, in this day and age women are not recognized as 1st class citizens, even in the Kingdom of God. As a female Pastor, it made this book very difficult to listen to. I did, however, get through it, and even took a few points with me for revitalizing a dying church.
