About this audiobook
What is there about a dying church that brings glory to God? Mark Clifton's convicting answer is "Nothing." Because a local church is intended to represent the work of God in a community, when that church "loses it saltiness," not only is God's work pictured as irrelevant in that community, but also dishonor and disrepute may well become associated with God's name as a result. In Reclaiming Glory, Clifton draws not only upon his own burden for revitalizing dying churches but also upon years of church replanting experience to offer passionate counsel for how to breathe new life into a dying church . . . all for the glory of the God who is building his church upon the immovable rock of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A book not primarily focusing on strategy, but rather to God's work in building His church, as well as the role the local church has in glorifying Him. This book really works on the heart of the Pastor to turn them towards a deep love of their congregation and thankfulness of God's work through them, and provides realistic expectations of the challenges involved with loving the flock and caring for them well. Great calls too to becoming constant in prayer and preaching Christ.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a real book on what it takes to replant a church that Satan has had a hold of for years.
