Written in a conversational style and based on extensive research, this book takes the reader inside the world of the unchurched and reveals how much Christians actually have in common with them. (Church Life)Book Synopsis
In a national survey conducted by author Thom Rainer and his staff, eight out of ten unchurched men and women said they would come to church--if only someone would invite them. When and how is the next big question. Rainer helps you figure out where your neighbors, friends, and coworkers are in their spiritual quest, and how you can know who among the unchurched people in your life are receptive to Christ. In this fascinating book, Rainer identifies five "faith stages" that represent your running buddy, your sister-in-law, or your hairdresser. "A discovery we made is that reaching lost and unchurched people is not always best accomplished with some cookie-cutter strategy," Rainer writes. "The unchurched are different in how they respond to the gospel." How different? You will be amazed at the variables that exist when it comes to how open people are to the Christian message. Open this book, and open your mind and heart to the powerful new possibilities of reaching The Unchurched Next Door.
