It is Mike Ross's premise that churches in need of revitalization usually need revitalized pulpits. It is a real challenge, a duty even, that Pastors must awaken to - to seek for the revitalization of declining congregations and to lead this work through the primacy of the pulpit. Why? Because Church revitalization can never take place and be maintained unless it is the product of a Biblical pulpit.
Illuminating,perceptive and, above all, energizing, Ross examines historic and contemporary preaching to assess what changes are necessary to help produce church revitalization. Focusing on the priorities, content, characteristics and style of preaching: the author proposes practical steps that can be taken to "rebirth" the local church through revitalized preaching.
