The Death and Resurrection of the Church: A Call for the Church to Die so it Can Rise Again

What if true church growth begins by allowing the church to die?

In The Death and Resurrection of the Church, Jeremy Myers proposes that most modern church growth practices are built on faulty premises. Some of these are even rooted in the false promises that Satan offered to Jesus in the wilderness temptations.

If we want the church to grow and thrive, it first needs to die to these false promises. The church must stop striving after strength, power, fame, riches, and glory, and instead follow Jesus into death. Only then will we become the church that Jesus wants.

Since there can be no resurrection without death, the church must die so that it can rise again.

This revised and updated book now includes discussion questions, perfect for a small group setting.
