Book Description
We are all too aware of the damage poisons can have on our bodies. These ailments find their way into us, invading us, infecting us, and spreading throughout us until the illness is felt all over. There are spiritual poisons that work this way as well, except these ailments invade another kind of body-the spiritual body of Christ. Like the diseases of our physical bodies, these diseases slow the body down, crippling it to function at less than capacity. They limit what the body can do and the effectiveness it can have. If not treated, these diseases can lead to death. Why Churches Die looks at the body's diseases and reflects on the corresponding spiritual ailment. Mac Brunson and Ergun Caner practice the science of spiritual forensics to prevent churches from unnecessary illness and premature death.

 why churches die January 16, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My church is currently at an impasse. Either they will succeed or fail. It was during this difficult time that I found this book, after doing an online search on the subject of churches dying.
If you have ever gone to a church and watched it fall apart, then this book is for you. If you have ever had people at church tell you "this is how it is, just deal with it" and grew frustrated after reading the Bible and the church in Bible times doesn't match the church you go to now, then this book is for you.
This book opens with several church scenarios that will seem familiar to anyone who goes to church. Caner and Brunson use the Bible frequently to talk of common church problems. While their treatment is not explained as well as I had hoped, this book is a great read on the most common problems. The book excerpt shows you what the chapters cover. My only problem with this book is that it doesn't entirely explain forgiveness very well, or the process of it. It just says to forgive. In most instances in my own life I have to give problems to God before I can begin to forgive; this is because I (like most people) have a very hard time forgiving others themselves. Otherwise, this book is very recommended; it talks about issues that I have heard many people and many books tell people like me to "just deal with." A must read.
The sickness in today's Christendom January 10, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The authors are well experienced to write about this subject with 25 years of small and large church Pastoring behind them.
Easily read, entertaining but pointed.
Perhaps best for Church members concerned about the impotence of Christianity today - the Pastors of these Churches are either well aware of their problems, or are blind to them - one of the major reasons why Christianity has little strength.
