Comeback Churches
You've probably read several books by Thom Rainer that are similar to this one (Simple Church, Breakout Churches, etc), but this one is worth reading as well. Much of the findings are the same as those from similar studies, but there were at least a couple other worthy insights.
One of the most notable things I found interesting was that this book did not note a long tenure of a pastor as a common factor of growing churches. All the other studies I've read make this point. Comeback Churches, however, found almost just the opposite. Most of the growing churches that they interviewed had new pastors, and those that did not have a new pastor had a renewed pastor (in that he suddenly obtained a fresh vision and passion for ministry). I wonder how these findings mesh with previous findings.
Comeback Churches offers good research which shows what we've always known: things such as prayer, evangelism, and biblical leadership are essential for churches that want to be healthy and growing.
