Preaching to Empty Seats

An epidemic of empty seats has broken out in churches all across America. It has infected storefront churches on side streets, mainline churches on Main St., and megaministries sprawling across suburban campuses on multiple streets. Every Sunday, virtually everywhere, preachers are forced to stand in the pulpit and preach to empty seats. This powerful and insightful book by Dr. C. Dexter Wise III addresses this issue first by identifying nine key contributors to the prevalence of empty seats in our sanctuaries. Then he offers more than one hundred concrete, practical steps that local churches can take to fill those empty seats with people on fire for the Lord.
