Summary: He gets to the point
Comment: George Barna has done an excellent job of pointing out what it takes to turn around a plateaued or declining church. What he writes I find to be true but sometimes it may be tough to hear. He does clarify what kind of pastor it will take and that most of these kinds of churches have a pastor that is not gifted for the task. It has been my personal experience that what he says works. I came to the conclusion after reading this book that many churches are not willing to pay the price to follow a pastor that is gifted to turn a church around. As a pastor this book caused me to take a closer look at churches and why they fail.
Rating: 5
Summary: Right On!
Comment: I believe Barna has done an excellent job at pointing out what it takes to turn a church around that is plateaued or declining. He points out the kind of pastor and leaders that it will take also. From my personal experience the advice he gives is tough but accurate. The advice he gives is not just his personal advice but from pastors that have actually turned churches around.

Summary: A Few Good Insights
Comment: George Barna has written some excellent books, but this is not one of his best. It is very much like many books about church growth. If you are not well-read on this subject, you might enjoy this book more than I.
Barna's strength is his diagnosis of trouble. His solutions are,in my view, weak. When dealing with church growth in general, one has to ask the question, "If I have to do such and such and have a church that is such and such, is it worth having this kind of church at all? Is this a Christianity WORTH reproducing?"
