Two decades ago a groundbreaking book called "The Frog in the Kettle" changed what we believe about the evangelical Church and its influence in America. Subsequent books by George Barna have become must-reading for church leaders and concerned Christians everywhere. Now Barna takes a fresh look at the Church--where we stand and where we are headed--at the dawn of the new millennium. With revealing statistics from cutting-edge research that illustrate the changing beliefs and attitudes in our society today, this book clearly shows the Church is at a crucial juncture in history--a time of rapid change in which we must begin to anticipate the world's needs in order to meet them.
George Barna is the award-winning author of more than 45
books, including bestsellers such as Revolution, The
Power of Vision, The Frog in the Kettle, and The
Seven Faith Tribes. He is also founder of The Barna Group, a
leading research firm that specializes in faith-related surveys. In
2009, George initiated Metaformation, a new organization designed
to help people maximize their potential. George has led several
churches and lives with his family in Southern California.
