An epidemic of empty seats has broken out in churches all across America. It has infected storefront churches on side streets, mainline churches on Broad St., and suburban mega ministries sprawling across multiple streets. Every Sunday, virtually everywhere, preachers are forced to stand in the pulpit and preach to empty seats.
What is the cause of this condition? Who are the characters responsible for this condition?
What is the cure for this condition? The present powerful and insightful book by Dr. C. Dexter Wise III addresses this issue by first identifying nine key contributors to the rise and prevalence of empty seats in our sanctuaries. Then, secondly, he offers more than 100 concrete practical church growth steps which local churches can take to fill those empty seats with people on fire for the Lord.
