In their barn-burning first book, "Rebuilt," Michael White and Tom Corcoran shared their story and vision of building better Catholic parishes. Now, in their eagerly-anticipated second book, White and Corcoran lay out seventy-five proven tactics for getting the job done. Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran know that the fundamental work of the Church is to evangelize--to introduce people to Christ and make them disciples. Still, they're the first to admit: "the difficulty comes when we reach down into the details and get to work." In "Tools for Rebuilding," White and Corcoran share seventy-five foundational tactics that helped to rejuvenate their parish. Their candid, hands-on advice gives a clear way forward--one that will make church matter to the people in the pews and that anyone working in parish ministry can implement. Principles/tactics include: * Get the Right People on the Bus* Christmas Is Over, So Throw Out the Dead Poinsettias* Stop Advertising (Other People's Stuff) in Your Bulletin* Don't Let the Insiders Take All the Good Seats* Just Because It's Slow Doesn't Mean It's Holy* When It Comes to First Communion, Just Surrender* Funerals Are Scud Missiles* Preach the Announcements* Start Getting Rid of Fundraisers* Everything Takes Longer (Than You Think)* Pastor, It's Not All About You* Stop Trying to Make People Go to Church and Make Church Matter
