Nixon writes to tell of his own personal experiences in ministry which provide helpful insights into difficult ministry situations. There were times I wish he would have said more about what he learned because he stopped short of something I really wanted to know about. Parts of the book are outdated now, but his insights are still helpful. It is not THE book on comeback churches but still helpful for those in tough ministries.

Great book on turning a struggling church around from one who has done it!
