10 Stupid Things That Keep Churches From Growing

This is for all aspiring pastors and/or pastors who need church growth or don't understand why attendance is decreasing. Listen up! You need to stop what you're doing and head to the bookstore to purchase the book, "10 Stupid Things That Keep Churches From Growing" by Pastor Geoff Surratt.

It's a humorous yet painfully honest book on the ten most common mistakes pastors make that keep their churches from growing. Before diving into the top 10 mistakes, Surratt made sure to clarify that the purpose of the book is not to point out the flaws of fellow pastors, but to offer them perspective on what could be hindering their churches from growing.

But why is he qualified to “point out other people’s mistakes,” readers may ask. Because he admits that he has committed all ten of the mistakes highlighted in the book.

Although the book was written with pastors as the intended readers, Surratt contends the tips in his book can be helpful to any leader in the church.

The book Ten Stupid Things That Keep Churches From Growing is scheduled to be released in May 2009 by Zondervan publishing company.

By the way, these are things I've heard of the book. If you're affiliated with the book, I'm letting you know I would love to have my own copy to review. ;)
