Revolution in faith
George Barna has conducted research for the past several years on people's attitudes towards church. In his new book, Revolution, he details how people are redefining church.
"We found that while some people leave the local church and fall away from God altogether, there is a much larger segment of Americans who are currently leaving churches precisely because they want more of God in their life but cannot get what they need from a local church. They have decided to get serious about their faith by piecing together a more robust faith experience."
Why are people frustrated with the church, and what can church leaders learn from it?
