A GUIDE FOR LETTING YOUR CHURCH DIE—SO IT CAN LIVE AGAIN With 90 percent of churches in decline or plateau, what must church leaders do? Greg Wiens and Dan Turner offer time-tested solutions, practical advice, and real-life stories for those who want to restart their church. Dying to Restart is the first comprehensive resource for declining churches to successful “die” so they can really have a fresh start. With two decades of relevant experience, Wiens and Turner describe the difference between "revitalizing" and "restarting" a church. The qualitative and quantitive differences are vital for successfully restarting a dying church. The goal of the restart is not to replace the old version of a church with an new, updated version. Rather, the goal of a restart is to create a wholly different body with holy different DNA. Sometimes a congregation needs to die with dignity—so it can truly start again. Movement-minded leaders of all types will find Dying to Restart a refreshingly optimistic and practical read. —Dr. Ed Love, Director of Church Multiplication for The Wesleyan Church A refreshing guidebook that gives you practical next steps for leading your church into a new life... and a gut check about whether or not you are willing to give up your old identity to take hold of what God has for you. —Dan Holland, author, coach, planting pastor, restart pastor and currently lead pastor of Golf Course Road Church of Christ in Texas This book is about an increasingly important topic in our culture with remarkable insights. —Reggie McNeal, best-selling author of Kingdom Come and Kingdom Collaborators I'm captured by the potential Kingdom impact of this book, which is a must read for those who grasp the fact that their greatest faith-filled, generous act may yet be ahead! —Wayne Schmidt, General Superintendent of The Wesleyan Church

This is just the beginning of your journey.
