Why Good Churches Fizzle explores the reasons why high-potential, highly motivated churches struggle in their God-given mission. The fizzling church is defined as one that began with great promise and excitement, only to stagnate or flatline in influence. What are the components of churches that fizzle, and what are the attributes of churches that succeed? Practical insights and exercises are presented in clear and simple language to the readership, and the author writes from the perspective of an organizational leadership professor, an executive leader from a major Christian university, and as an executive pastor.
