What People Expect from Church: Why Meeting the Needs of People Is More Important Than Church Meetings (Ministry for the Third Mille

by Robert L. Randall

Randall demonstrates that people have four basic to be understood, to understand, to belong, and to hope. He believes that the church is in a survival mode at present because it focuses too much on maintaining structures and programs--and not enough on meeting the relational yearnings that bind together a worshipping community. Randall shows leaders how to address these relational yearnings so that the Christian congregation may be reestablished and healed through preaching, teaching, administration, and congregational worship and social life.
