Can These Bones Live: A Practical Guide to Church Revitalization

by Bill Henard

Churches are closing today at an alarming rate. Pastors are disillusioned, church members are discouraged, and the world has lost interest. Can this disturbing tide be stemmed?   Bill Henard believes that there is hope for the established church – for your church. Some people may have already pronounced the church “dead,” but these dead bones can live.  Whether your church is seven years old or one-hundred and seventy, you may be seeing evidences that your church needs vision, direction, and revitalization.  Don’t lose hope. Your church can live.

After learning all the things a church needs for revitalization during the Mathena internship, I was greatly saddened by this book. This is full of practical mumbo jumbo jargon with some verses attached to make it seem biblical. If you want to run your church like a business or a brand, this is a great book for you!

Fair, but far too pragmatic. Good food for thought, but not among the better options for books on church revitalization.

If you are a pastor or you are in a church that is declining, this book is a must read. You will see your church in the book but you will also get some biblical and very good practical advice from Bill Henard, the author, who has been down that declining road a couple of times. A MUST!
