Description
Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran know that the fundamental work of
the Church is to evangelize—to introduce people to Christ and make them
disciples. Still, they’re the first to admit: “the difficulty comes when
we reach down into the details and get to work.” In their barn-burning
first book, Rebuilt, White and Corcoran shared their story and
vision of building better Catholic parishes. Now, in their eagerly
anticipated second book, Tools for Rebuilding, they lay out seventy-five proven tactics for getting the job done.
In Tools for Rebuilding: 75 Really, Really Practical Ways to Make Your Parish Better, White and Corcoran share seventy-five foundational tactics that helped to rejuvenate their parish. Their candid, hands-on advice gives a clear way forward—one that will make church matter to the people in the pews and that anyone working in parish ministry can implement.
