Making the Church Work: Converting the Church for the 21st Century

In the first edition of "Making the Church Work," Hammett wrote that the church is not only in need of change, but also in need of a conversion. Now his conviction is stronger than ever. In this second edition, he addresses the issues of changing value -values about what leaders and their congregations are doing as a church and the effectiveness of their techniques. Hammett is convinced that until church leaders change their values healthy, relevant, and effective churches are not like to appear.

Unique features of this book include:

. Overview of trends and issues impacting the church's ineffectiveness

· Opportunities for individual readers, small groups, and congregations to reflect on their journey, in light of these trends and issues

· Practical guidance for addressing problems and for equipping the church for more effective ministry in the 21st century.
