Autopsy of a Deceased Church

Thom Rainer examines 14 Protestant churches that closed their doors, identifying common causes of decline such as clinging to the past, inward focus, lack of evangelism, short pastoral tenures, minimal prayer, unclear purpose, and obsession with facilities.

The book offers hope through 12 actionable ways to keep churches alive, emphasizing outward focus, prayer, and community engagement to fulfill the Great Commission.
