Revisiting 52 Churches: Exploring Thriving, Struggling, and Transforming Congregations
About this audiobook
Visiting a church once is not enough.
When Peter DeHaan completed his year-long journey visiting 52 different churches, he knew his exploration wasn't finished.
Some churches deserved a second look. Others had left questions unanswered. And a few had made such an impact that he simply wanted to go back.
In Revisiting 52 Churches, DeHaan returns to discover what happens when you give congregations a second chance . . . and a third. He finds churches that moved, merged, or disappeared entirely. He encounters new ministers and changed schedules. He experiences both warm welcomes and awkward moments.
Along the way, he uncovers essential truths about hospitality, worship, communication, and what makes visitors want to return.
Through honest observations and thought-provoking questions, this book challenges both church leaders and attendees to see their congregations through fresh eyes.
Whether you're searching for a church home, serving in church leadership, or simply curious about the diverse ways Christians worship, Revisiting 52 Churches offers invaluable insights into creating authentic, welcoming communities where everyone can encounter God.
