We Must Close The Gap: 5 Practical Steps To Closing The Gap Between Church And Post-Christianity

This book, We Must Close The Gap, is a response to that crisis-and a revelation. Its author Joe Roach, brings years of frontline ministry experience to these pages. Joe's work with the broken, the addicted, and the spiritually disillusioned has shown him firsthand that people ache to understand life's biggest mysteries: Does God exist? What happens when we die? Why is there suffering? Can I find peace? Joe's leadership in church revitalization has revealed a sobering truth: Many congregations have forgotten how to listen before they speak, to love before they lecture. He has crafted a resource that doesn't just diagnose the problem but offers a lifeline.I've seen churches pour resources into programs that yield little fruit. I've also seen the transformative power of simply meeting people where they are. That's the heartbeat of this book. The ACORN Method it outlines isn't a formula-it's a call to embody Christ's love in a world starved for authenticity. It's about planting seeds of hope in conversations at coffee shops, workplaces, and dinner tables, trusting that God will grow what we nurture.If you're a pastor, this book will reignite your vision for outreach. If you're a believer uneasy about how to share your faith in a skeptical age, it will equip you. And if you're someone with more questions than answers, it will meet you with truth and tenderness.The gap is real, but so is the hope of closing it. Let this book be your guide.
