Review
Existing congregations and denominations can become so addicted to self-destructive practices that they cannot change until they admit their bondage. These practices include a hunt for doctrinal purity on the theological right, and a desire for political justice on the theological left. The answer is a complete systemic transformation of congregation or denomination. Kicking Habits offers twenty shocking truths that thriving churches have discovered. Every church leader will wince over the declining church system that is St. Friendly-on-the-Hill, where intimacy in worship and personal healing are suffocated by activity and program. Kicking Habits is highly motivating reading for anyone whose congregation has stagnated, or is caught up in a seemingly irreversible decline. Indeed, Kicking Habits will come as a much needed early warning that, if heeded, can avoid a great deal of disappointment, frustration, and pain when the pressures on a weakening and vulnerable Christian community become overwhelming. -- Midwest Book Review
