Using the story of five churches wrestling with change and searching for genuine growth in their ministry, The Transforming Church identifies the five dysfunctions of an unhealthy church and the five characteristics of a growing, healthy congregation. Hopeful and encouraging in tone, Kevin Ford will help churches identity and resolve common frustrations churches face and become a healthy church that is relevant and life-giving to society. Includes a free Transforming Church Snapshot assessment (via Website)--a $40 value. Foreword by Billy Graham. Endorsements from Howard Hendricks, Charles Colson, and Tony Campolo.
