A challenging, innovative approach to a delicate subject. It's sure to benefit church leaders and members of all ages who dream of a "reinvented" church. --Publishers Weekly Has your church been stolen out from under you? A storm hits a small New England town late one evening, but the pelting rain can't keep a small group of church members from gathering to discuss issues that lately have been brewing beneath the surface of their congregation.

Although fiction, this book touches on many of the "issues" folks have as changes occur in their church. It may give you a different perspective on what's happening in the 21st century churches. ( )

A fictional story based on fact penned by Gordon MacDonald, a New England Pastor. The story line is based on the generational conflict in church's today especially regarding church music preferences, etc. Which ever side you are "on" in this tug of war, Gordon will make you think and reassess some of your attitudes. Every church member should read this. ( )
