There is a unique and special power and testimony in not just a vibrant local church full of life, but an old historic one that had lost its way, was on life support, and into which God saw fit to breathe life once again. Biblical Church Revitalization calls us to an intentional commitment to church revitalization in the face of dying and divided churches.

Harry L. Reeder III

Some books are written from ivory towers. Biblical Church Revitalization is not one of them. Brian Croft writes about church revitalization as one who has labored in the trenches of this work for several years ... this book is a "must read" on the topic of revitalizing churches.

This book is a gift to pastors and church leaders who are yearning to see God do a work of spiritual transformation in a dying church ... Read it prayerfully and humbly, put its precepts into practice, and see God do what He alone can do--give life to the dead!
