When Church Stops Working offers a revolutionary approach to revitalizing struggling churches by focusing on the power of actively waiting on God. Authors Andrew Root and Blair Bertrand provide practical steps and practices to help church leaders break free from the cycle of busyness and instead, cultivate a deeper connection with God's presence. Through the inspiring stories of two congregations who embraced this transformative practice, readers will discover how waiting on God can bring new life and growth to their own churches.
This book, a part of Root's Ministry in a Secular Age series, presents a refreshing alternative to the common solutions of more money, programs, or innovation. By looking to the book of Acts and contemporary examples, Root and Bertrand show how active waiting on God can bring affirmation, encouragement, and empowerment to weary leaders and churchgoers. For progressive Christians seeking a deeper, more authentic connection with God, When Church Stops Working is a must-read guide for experiencing the saving grace that comes from simply being in God's presence.
