    Reclaiming Glory: Revitalizing Dying Churches

    About this audiobook

    What is there about a dying church that brings glory to God? Mark Clifton's convicting answer is "Nothing." Because a local church is intended to represent the work of God in a community, when that church "loses it saltiness," not only is God's work pictured as irrelevant in that community, but also dishonor and disrepute may well become associated with God's name as a result. In Reclaiming Glory, Clifton draws not only upon his own burden for revitalizing dying churches but also upon years of church replanting experience to offer passionate counsel for how to breathe new life into a dying church . . . all for the glory of the God who is building his church upon the immovable rock of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    Mark Clifton

    Mark Clifton (1906-1963) was an American science fiction writer whose work left an indelible mark on the genre during the mid-20th century. Born in San Francisco, Clifton's professional life was as varied as his literary output; he worked as a personnel manager and a psychologist, experiences that deeply informed his writing. Clifton's stories often explored the intersection of human psychology and futuristic technology, making him a pioneer in the genre's exploration of human-machine relationships. Clifton's most notable contribution to science fiction was his collaboration with Frank Riley on the novel "They'd Rather Be Right" (1954), which controversially won the Hugo Award for Best Novel. The book delved into themes of human potential and societal resistance to change, sparking debates that still resonate today. Despite the controversy, Clifton's work was groundbreaking in its optimistic view of human evolution and potential. His influence on contemporary writers is significant; Clifton's nuanced characters and psychological depth paved the way for later authors like Philip K. Dick and Ursula K. Le Guin, who similarly blended speculative fiction with profound human insights. Clifton's short stories, many of which appeared in prominent science fiction magazines, were known for their wit, intelligence, and often satirical edge. Mark Clifton remains a fascinating figure in science fiction history, not just for his literary achievements but also for his forward-thinking ideas about humanity's future. His work continues to inspire and provoke thought, making him a timeless figure in the ever-evolving landscape of speculative fiction.

      A book not primarily focusing on strategy, but rather to God's work in building His church, as well as the role the local church has in glorifying Him. This book really works on the heart of the Pastor to turn them towards a deep love of their congregation and thankfulness of God's work through them, and provides realistic expectations of the challenges involved with loving the flock and caring for them well. Great calls too to becoming constant in prayer and preaching Christ.

      This is a real book on what it takes to replant a church that Satan has had a hold of for years.
