This examination of the declining membership of the Plymouth Brethren Church by prominent Plymouth Brethren leader Nate Smith gives concrete suggestions on how this once-dynamic dissenting denomination might recpature its historical vibrancy. It has been repeatedly recommended by church leaders as a wonderful resource filled with cogent recommendations for all those involved in churches who struggle to maintain traditional forms of worship in a society undergoing huge changes.
