I am about three-quarters of the way through this book and have been well challenged about working to see people come from a place of spiritual decline in churches, to a place and a church that God wants to bless. Thankful for the practical advice.

Unlike most church help books, this focused on what God would like in a church. .. What would please Him. Good writing style with memorable illustrations. Really would like to shoot down and talk with the author. .. preferably at his home in Hawaii. . lol.

This is a very good book, especially when you consider it as a church growth/ health book for a newbie getting back into ministry after a long hiatus. I highly recommend this book.

Great steps to not only an irresistible church, but an irresistible you as well! Story examples and "talking points" are just a few ways to become a better person overall.
