196 pages ; 22 cm, A moving testimony to how a church can experience rebirth by discerning its core mission. The key to becoming a Spirit-energized, people-loving, life-giving, community-transforming congregation, says James A. Harnish, is really very simple. All you have to do is be willing to die. This book describes how God calls each congregation to a specific mission, how God grants discernment to understand what that mission is, and how God enables the congregation to die to its entrenched attitudes and behaviors in order to be resurrected to a new life of ministry and witness. --Amazon.com, Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-196), All the way to the heart -- You only have to die -- For the sake of the call -- Congregational cardiomyopathy -- Cardiology is not for the faint of heart -- Vision matters -- Finding the future in your past -- Prayer that makes a difference -- The heart of transformation -- Doing a new thing -- Worship that goes to the heart -- Habits for a healthy heart -- A heart for the future
