An epidemic of empty seats has broken out in churches all across America. It has infected storefront churches on side streets, mainstream churches on Main Street, and mega ministries sprawling across suburban campuses on multiple streets. Every Sunday, virtually everywhere in the United States, preachers are forced to stand in the pulpit and preach to empty seats. What has caused this situation, and how can it be changed?
In this study, author Dr. C. Dexter Wise III addresses the issue of declining church attendance first by identifying nine key contributors to it, examining what these factors are and how they generate empty seats. He then goes on to offer more than one hundred concrete, practical steps that local churches can take to fill those empty seats with people on fire for the Lord, revolutionizing their entire ministries. With this guidance, which focuses on the contribution of both preachers and congregations, countless loss souls may flow into churches, full of the Word, the spirit, and the power of God.

I haven't read the book yet, but from the author's lips as I listened to him on TBN, I could perceive the entire content. I'm looking at a very interesting, educative, and inspiring book; a must buy.
Now, I'm going for it.

We saw Dr.Wise on TBN on May 10th he was sitting flat foot and flint face speaking words of wisdom that only The Holy Spirit could've downloaded into him. Thank you for being obedient and may God continuously Bless you and your Family.
