From Embers to a Flame: How God Can Revitalize Your Church

Whether your church is healthy or struggling, the biblical principles in this book point the way to greater spiritual vitality. A pastor, seminary teacher, and conference speaker, Harry Reeder has long specialized in church revitalization. Reeder and Swavely deftly alert us to potential problems in our churches, help us to recognize our weaknesses and opportunities, and guide us in applying biblically based strategies for rekindling the flames of godly growth.
