Dr. Green recognizes the growth crisis and addresses this book directly to it. He knows the American church well. He speaks to real conditions. Wasting no time on superficial considerations and easy diagnosis, he identifies thirty-fuive reasons Why Churches Die and proposes remedial action for each. His proposals are biblical and will be welcomed by dedicated Christians of every denomination. This creative and optimistic book should be widely read by lay leaders and ministers. It is part of the wave of tomorrow. --From the Foreword by Donald A. McGavran
