Great summary of what to expect post pandemic.Some have complained this book is just a summary of what anyone can read in articles. That us true but Rainer provides a good summary as well as experience as he has talked to hundreds of churches during the pandamic. It is a short but thought provoking summary that will have you realize why you feel things are so different. Even if people are returning the pandemic has changed everything. You might not agree with all of his assessments but you will agree that things will never the same. This is a good book for a leadership team to read as they navigate the new world.

Provides a good summary of other works by Thom Rainer. It doesn't give you a "task list" of ways to recover or go back to normal, but this is not the point. The point is to evaluate the needs of the individual ministry that God has called you to. I worked recommend this for church staff and leadership to work through together. Great questions at the end of each chapter.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Familiar Talk About CHURCH and Quarantine Survival
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2021
Verified Purchase
This little pocket size book is well kept guide from a personal consultants point of view, of navigating a Quarantine era and church development. Rainer does a great job of making you feel like you are taking to an old friend and not the teacher or guide he is. The Challenges range from 1 to 6 focusing on subjects such as Reconnecting with community (A great start into social distancing and church fellowship) as well as “Making Lasting Changes” (Self Explanatory). Laden heavy in thought invoking questions and antidotes.
I wanted to love this book but that was not the case. It generally isn’t a bad read as I have followed some of Mr. Rainer’s podcast, but it reads like a Sunday stroll reminiscing with friends on the past and how we should propel to the future. There were many little stories to keep you entertained while navigating the halls of advancing into a social media world.
Although this book has some very good information if you an get down to the meat of it. Think of this as a coffee table book. One that over time you will complete different chapters just to reinforce the information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking
Reviewed in Germany on March 7, 2021

My takeaways: 1. Make sure you remain outward focused. 2. Rethink how you can use facilities in service if the community. This point is something that I would like to see discussed more. This author takes a certain stance, but until fairly recently I have seen some other very successful thriving churches saying the exact opposite. Perhaps the author is correct in his estimation. But I have seen churches lend their facilities for activities of the community with zero impact for the great commission. In fact some pastors would argue that it increases the consumer mentality. It would be interesting to hear about results from these new experiments. 3. Multi-site is here to stay and a growing trend. 4. Don’t see your digital Ministry as a mere extension of what you were doing on site. It’s a whole new field for the great commission. This is kind of a no brained. But it’s good not to forget.

Here and there I found the book to be a bit repetitive or stating the obvious - for example in the use of certain phrases like “ we still do not know what the new normal will look like”.

But on the whole a good text with some thought-provoking ideas. Thank you!
