Publisher's summary
Drawing on the wisdom gleaned from thriving mega-churches and innovative business leaders while anchoring their vision in the Eucharistic center of Catholic faith, Fr. Michael White and lay associate Tom Corcoran present the compelling and inspiring story to how they brought their parish back to life.
Rebuilt is a story of stopping everything and changing focus. When their parish reached a breaking point, Fr. Michael White and lay associate Tom Corcoran asked themselves how they could make the Church matter to Catholics, and they realized the answer was at the heart of the Gospel. Their faithful response not only tripled their weekend mass attendance, but also yielded increased giving, flourishing ministries, and a vibrant, solidly Catholic spiritual revival.
White and Corcoran invite all Catholic leaders to share the vision, borrow their strategies, and rebuild their own parishes. They offer a wealth of guidance for anyone with the courage to hear them.

Story
A friend’s child dies; a parent gets a cancer diagnosis; your spouse loses their job. Sometimes life and God’s plan don’t make sense and we end up feeling hurt and angry. In Seriously, God?, Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran explore the denial, doubt, and betrayal we experience when we face hardship, pain, and grief, and they encourage us to lean into our feelings and to take each circumstance as a chance to learn more about God. This audiobook treats the problems of suffering and evil not as an argument to be overcome but as an invitation to a deeper faith.

Nearly 40 years ago, Ralph Martin's best-selling A Crisis of Truth exposed the damaging trends in Catholic teaching and preaching that, combined with attacks from secular society, threatened the mission and life of the Catholic Church. While much has been done to counter false teaching over the last four decades, today the church faces even more insidious threats from outside and within. In A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward, Martin offers a detailed look at the growing hostility to the Catholic Church and its teaching.

Every follower of Jesus Christ should be able to answer two simple questions: Who is investing in me?Whom am I investing in? God desires to pour an abundance of spiritual and emotional capital into your life - directly and through older and wiser believers. And he wants to use you to pour spiritual and emotional capital into the lives of others. Along the way, you’ll be changed. Others will change. God calls this process of spiritual investing "making disciples". It’s the heart of the Great Commission.

Story
Many people today talk about justice, but are they living justly? They want to change the world, but are they being changed themselves? Eugene Cho has a confession: "I like to talk about changing the world but I don't really like to do what it takes." If this is true of the man who founded the One Day's Wages global antipoverty movement, then what must it take to act on one's ideals? Cho does not doubt the sincerity of those who want to change the world.

Story
Turn on a cable news show or pick up any news magazine, and you get the impression that Christian America is on its last leg. The once dominant faith is now facing rapidly declining church attendance, waning political influence, and an abysmal public perception. More than 76% of Americans self-identify as Christians, but many today are ashamed to carry the label. While many Christians are bemoaning their faith’s decline, Gabe Lyons is optimistic that Christianity’s best days are yet to come.

What to do when they say they’re Christian but don’t know Jesus. Whether it’s the Christmas and Easter Christians or the faithful church attenders whose hearts are cold toward the Lord, we’ve all encountered cultural Christians. They’d check the Christian box on a survey, they’re fine with church, but the truth is, they’re far from God. So how do we bring Jesus to this overlooked mission field? The Unsaved Christian equips you to confront cultural Christianity with honesty, compassion, and grace, whether you’re doing it from the pulpit or the pews.

Are you one of the millions who crave a new direction in the church, fed up with religious games, empty promises, and cultural Christianity? You are not alone. You are not crazy. Maybe Jesus is ready to interrupt your life. Snatching Jen Hatmaker from the grip of her consumer life, God began asking her questions like, "What is really the point of My Church? What have I really asked of you?" Transparent and imperfect, Jen will engage and inspire you to go beyond comfortable and answer for yourself the question she faced.

Authentic, Pithy, and Inspired!
I had previously read Rebuilt when it first came out and was trying to reread now, but found myself reading too sporadically. Loved this book even more hearing Tom and Fr. Michael read. They exude genuineness and sound just as they do on weekends at Nativity.
I’m on the cusp of hopefully joining the parish, having attended weekly since last September. I’m the kind of guy they’re talking about in many ways. I was born & raised Catholic—13 years of Catholic schools, altar server, lector, EM, volunteer youth minister. Yet I’d grown disenchanted in recent years and had begun to fall away. My time at Nativity these past eight months has reignited my zeal and filled me with purpose. I cannot wait all week to be back there—honestly!
As someone who truly loves the Church and its people, I have shared so many of the concerns with the practice of our faith (including the insider ushers, combative office staff, and abysmal preaching) that Fr. Michael and Tom outline. Their humility in seeking out and discerning carefully over what has worked elsewhere is evident from page one.
As an aspiring new parishioner, I found the background info here indispensable context and relish the opportunity to continue to grow in faith and love (current message series is actually called “Love Lives”) through a richer understanding of the mission that this parish has adopted: every person a minister.
Tom and Fr. Michael have really turned the conventional pessimism, that dwindling clergy has somehow foisted the terrible work of running a parish on the laity completely on its head! I’ve never been more sanguine about the future of our Church.
Thank you!!

Interesting for interested
It is interesting if you are interested in growing your Church. To me, it is read too slow and the authors/readers have somewhat annoying long pauses in between each words.

Do as they say, not as they do.
Excellent food for thought. They should be praised for their boldness. However, it seems that in their zeal to seek the lost they neglected their current (or now former) parishioners. We must tend to both - no easy task. While we must attract the lost we must also lead the faithful to a deeper and more profound union with God. A must read for all pastors and ministry leaders.

Don't Do What's Suggested Unless You Will OWN IT.
My interpretation of this book is that this pastor and youth minister took their new positions unwilling to just continue to do what was always done which wasn't working. They were willing to say basically, "I don't know. I'm open to new ideas." A Catholic priest attended an evangelical pastors' conference on church growth. As things rolled forward they found that the only changes that worked were the ones that they OWNED and weren't just performing.
This book applies to all Christian churches/communities, not just the Catholic Church in which it is lived. Many might say, "I'm not Catholic, I'm [fill in the blank]." If you are in a leadership [or are willing to be] in any faith community, there is a treasure trove of ideas and perspective worth considering.
Even mentioned was the value of integrating Dave Ramsey's [an evangelical Christian] Financial Peace University [FPU] into the congregation to help people gain financial stability which ultimately led improved quality of life and to increased giving. I'm Catholic and facilitate FPU workshops at my church. That reference struck a chord with me.
Bottom line, don't be so short-sighted, dare I say judgemental, as they are 'too liberal', 'too conservative' or even 'I'm in a Christian church not Catholic.' Don't fall into the error of thinking 'I believe in God and he thinks just like me!' Let those attitudes go [I had to too] and look for the opportunities to have more positive impact on your community and world in 'sharing the gospel.'

Practical, Doable Ideas for Rebuilding Parish Culture
Lots of practical ideas that can be applied to parishes of any size or limitation. I appreciated how the authors shared not only their victories but their mistakes. Fr. Michael did a great job of narrating; his tone was conversational and passionate. In comparison, Tom was harder to listen to; his inflection and tone felt like he was disinterestedly reading a page to you. Not everyone is a professional narrator or orator, but dual authorship made dual narration kind of necessary. It’s too bad someone didn’t coach him more on narrating with more emotion and modulation. That’s why the “performance” score was lower. That being said, don’t let it dissuade you from listening. It is worth its weight in spiritual gold.
