Summary
Churchless presents the startling trends reveled by two decades of Barna Group interviews with thousands of churchless men and women, and offers discerning analysis of the results from bestselliing authors George Barna (Revolution) and David Kinnaman (You Lost Me). This practical, insight-driven book will help you look past the surface of church attendance to deeper spiritual realities and understand those who choose not to be part of a church - the first step toward building trust-based relationships that lead to Christ-centered community. -- Book Jacket
