Tools for Rebuilding: 75 Really, Really Practical Ways to Make Your Parish Better Description
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.

Get the Right People on the Bus
Christmas Is Over, So Throw Out the Dead Poinsettias

"Tools for Rebuilding" is a fine sequel to "The Story of a Catholic Parish Rebuilt". It gives practical ideas of how to implement the philosophy detailed in the initial book.It would be well for all to study who are interested in the growth of Faith through the Catholic Church. It is easy to read and understand.
