In Britain and the West Christians have watched helplessly while teachers, politicians and the media have prised apart sacred and secular, consigning the sacred to the realm of the private and unimportant. After a careful analysis of the state of Western churches, Robinson and Smith challenge conventional leadership styles. They reject fix-it programmes, which rarely transplant well, and urge ministers to focus on what really matters: to help people to experience intimacy with God, to encounter the grace of God and speak about it to others. From a Christian viewpoint there can never be two worlds, only God's world, but Christians have retreated into sacred space, rather than reaching out. This book cuts across contemporary leadership thinking.

"This is a 'must read' for all church leaders and Christians wanting to grapple with the challenge of becoming a relevant church for the 21st century. Whilst based on thorough research, and including some most interesting statistical analysis, it is far from being an academically dry book. It is engagingly written, realistic about the challenges facing the Church in the West, yet a book of hope and encouragement." (Richard Zair Anvil 2005-02-16)
