Ministry in a Church Dismantled: To Tear Down or Build Up?

In this second book in the series-"A Church Dismantled"-the author looks objectively at our society and church communities, both as a sociologist of religion as well as a Mennonite pastor. The book is organized according to various ministry related themes. The subtitle of the book-"To Tear Down or Build Up?"-reflects the dilemma that pastors find themselves in during the current context of the American church. Unsettling at times, this book is filled with hope as we face these new church realities together.
