4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful book for analyzing congregations, May 7, 2001
By E (rural Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This book provides a step-by-step process for analyzing a congregation-- its theology, context, culture and identity, dynamics, resources, and leadership. For church leaders looking for ways to figure out what's *really* been happening in a congregation, what its mission might be, and where it might be headed, this is a valuable book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Studying Congregations Review, March 13, 2006
By Elizabeth Helgren (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is great. It outlines how to study a congregation with objectivity as the key. It also provides sample surveys, which is great. Good for individuals or for group research.
