This book is a survival manual for church members.
Yes, as the title says, it shares How to Survive in a Dead Church. But that's just for starters. Sharing practical advice in a whimsical style, Doug Batchelor and Karen Lifshay offer help on surviving not just in dead churches, but in big ones, divided ones, scandal-torn ones, and gossip-ridden ones. They suggest ways to survive in church if you're young, single, bored, hurt, or stressed out.
The bottom line is that no matter where the Lord has place you, with Him you can not only "survive" but thrive and be a blessing to others. If you belong to a church -- dead or alive -- and your experience there is important to you, reading this book will be time well spent.
