Opis

Why have people left Churches of Christ? Doctrinal Differences? Neglect? Instrumental Music Issues? The Role of Women? Divorce and Remarriage? Misunderstandings? Will the current generation of high school and college students remain in Churches of Christ after they graduate and leave home? In Flavil Yeakley's latest book, Why They Left: Listening to Those Who Have Left Churches of Christ, these and other essential questions will be answered. As former director of the Harding University Center for Church Growth Studies, Yeakley's extensive research in this area provides reasons given by former members explaining why they left Churches of Christ. Critically important lessons can be learned from listening to the ones who have left so that we can do a better job of ministering to those who are still faithful and encouraging future generations to remain in the church.
