A practical, encouraging, field tested book that will help a declining church rekindle itself. This is an easily readable book that narrates Phinney Baskette’s experiences at revitalizing her church. She writes well and offers many ideas that could be helpful depending on your context and so it was, therefore, worth the time to explore. However, I found some of her suggestions at revitalization were much more applicable to urban settings and some were neither new nor innovative but were things I am already using or have already tried and rejected. It is still worth a look if you are struggling to lead a revitalization effort but I, personally, was hoping for more ideas than I actually came away with. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Real Good Church offers a look at everything First Church Somerville UCC, a progressive Christian church in the shadow of Harvard, MIT and Tufts Universities, did to reverse their death spiral and become the healthy, stable, spirited and robust community it is today. The triumphant renewal is highly visible in the large percentage of children and young adults in the church, a sixfold increase in pledged giving in the last decade, and most importantly in the spirit of joy that pervades the community. The strategies they used can work in any church, in any setting: regardless of denomination, demographics, or political landscape. The book addresses topics like outreach and growth strategies, finances and giving, creative worship including the central place of personal testimony and corporate prayer practices, church conflict and change, anxiety and laughter, and much more -- all treated with humor and offering real, practical, immediate steps for getting started.
