For anyone who has pastored a traditional Southern Baptist (SBC) church or been a member of one for any length of time, you do not need a list of dire statistics paraded before you to know the state of these churches. All you need to do is open your eyes and note what you see. They are old; they are dysfunctional; they are ineffective.

And they are dying.

Traditional SBC churches are not failing because of what the typical SBC associational missionary, state convention leader, or national convention revitalization guru will tell you. They are dying because they no longer serve the God of the Bible-they serve an idol.

The purpose of this book is to bring to light the true situation facing almost every traditional SBC church in this nation, the biblical cause for the death spiral in which they now find themselves, and the cure for their dilemma prescribed, not by pundits or consultants, but by the Word of the biblical God himself.

If you desire to see your traditional SBC church rise out of the ashes of death and decay, this book is for you.
