The book was written nearly 2 decades ago but the principles of how to manage change in the church are a relevant as ever.

If I didn't know better, after reading this I would think that Lynn Anderson was a standard, evangelical denominational preacher. When I was a Methodist, I went to the church growth seminars and participated in the dialogue about change that Lynn writes about. What I discovered is this: rather than rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic by trying to accommodate a fallen culture, it is better to get back to the Biblical principles that are the foundation of New Testament Christianity. If it looks likr the world, and looks like a denomination--guess what: it's a worldly denomination. If it looks like the church you read about in the pages of the New Testament--then it's the church of Christ.
