| 1. |  | Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices from BarnaBooks Price: $12.23 Customer Review:  Pagan Christianity is one of the most provocative and courageous books written about the church in recent years.

| 2. |  | Jim and Casper Go to Church: Frank Conversation about Faith, Churches, and Well-Meaning Christians from BarnaBooks Price: $11.55 Customer Review: Jim has found a quality idea, instead of spending millions to make our churches "seeker sensitive" why don't we just ask outsiders. Are we as christians above focus groups? Basically what Jim Henderson has, is a one man focus group. Of the ten chapters, its interesting to see what Jim and... |

| 6. |  | Growing True Disciples: New Strategies for Producing Genuine Followers of Christ from WaterBrook Press Price: $14.95 Customer Review: Barna uses his sociological research to demonstrate the relative absence of real disciple making in the evangelical church in America. But the book is not negative as a whole. He goes on to cover several churches where discipleship is faithfully practiced at some level, and makes a strong call to... |

| 8. |  | The Power of Vision from Regal Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: This is an excellent book for those who are trying to lead churches in the 21st century. Well laid out and easy to follow. The only issue that I had with the book is that all the references and pronouns are for male pastors and male pronouns for God. It was disconcerting and a little abrasive at the... |

| 11. |  | How to Increase Giving in Your Church : A Practical Guide to the from Regal Books Price: $10.87 Customer Review:  I think George Barna would probably not recommend this book any longer considering his current view of the Institutional Church system. Please read my review of his book Revolution (2005). |

| 14. |  | Think Like Jesus from Thomas Nelson Price: $10.39 Customer Review: "A biblical worldview is thinking like Jesus. It is a way of making our faith practical to every situation we face each day. A biblical worldview is a way of dealing with the world such that we act like Jesus twenty-four hours a day because we think like Jesus." ~ pg. 4 If you are expecting... |

| 15. | [no image] | Turnaround Churches: How to Overcome Barriers to Growth and Bring New Life to an Established Church from Regal Books Customer Review: January 1, 2008, I began pastoring a congregation that fits perfectly the category of a "turnaround church." Barna's comments here are extremely helpful and exceptionally comforting. Attempting to lead a declining/dying church back to health is not for the faint of heart. Barna even states that most... |

| 16. |  | A Fish Out of Water: 9 Strategies to Maximize Your God-Given Leadership Potential from Thomas Nelson Customer Review:  I have read Barna for years and have consistently credited him with being a most able marketing research, marketing, and leadership practioner of the finest level. His successes would exhibit this. However, equally as consistent has been my criticism that Barna makes emphatic, foundational... |

| 17. |  | The Second Coming Of The Church from Thomas Nelson Customer Review: This title is one of those books I've wanted to read for a long time but didn't get to it until now. Written in 1998, it was a very timely, well-crafted work that gave a wake-up call to the church in America. As I read it in 2005 however, I wonder, "What would Barna say today?" He states here that... |

| 19. |  | Evangelism That Works: How to Reach Changing Generations With the Unchanging Gospel from Regal Books Price: $11.24 Customer Review: Barna here provides a good intro on the lack of evangelism in today's churches. For anyone who has read much on the subject, Barna really doesn't share anything new. What he does do however, is to put many of the trends and concepts together in one volume. There are certainly better books on... |

| 20. |  | High Impact African-American Churches from Regal Books Customer Review: I think this book is a great reference for church leaders of all races. The information is insightful, the examples are inspiring, the stats are revealing. What appeals to me most is how it covers topics that most Christian leaders deal with and yet gets deep enough to give some take-aways. |

This book opened my eyes to the state of our society. It is a great read. If you are not a fan of Christianity, still read it. It is full of statistics and facts that are useful to anyone. I am personally a Christian and am shocked at some of... |

| 24. |  | User Friendly Churches: What Christians Need to Know About the Churches People Love to Go to from Regal Books Customer Review: This is a very good book. In it, Barna examines growing churches and then extrapolates growth principles that they have in common. Barna warns the greater that to simply copy the methodologies and formats of successful churches without first analyzing one's own culture is to guarantee... |

| 25. | [no image] | Marketing the Church from NAVPRESS Customer Review: This is a good book. Today many pastors and church leaders try to seperate the business aspect of the church from the church but that is impossible and it is not being a good steward. Many churches die because the leaders dont know how to handlle staff, finances, or marketing and hence end up in a... |

| 28. |  | A Step-By-Step Guide to Church Marketing Breaking Ground for the Harvest from Regal Books Customer Review: Barna is marketing expert and very good at it. However, applying this to church growth is tragic error. I find no support Biblically for the positions he makes. Further critique may be found in my book, Testing the Claims of Church Growth. Dangerous principles to be brought into the church of... |

| 29. |  | Turning Vision into Action from Gospel Light Publications Customer Review: I didn't feel like Barna broke any new ground with this volume. For a person who has not studied mission, vision, and values before this book is probably tremendously helpful. The book lacked real-world examples that would appeal to struggling pastors and church leaders. Barna did not present... |
