In Hope for the Church the author takes a challenging look at recent church attendance figures and sets out to interpret their message for today´s Church. Bob Jackson highlights areas where the Church is growing, analyses causes of decline and outlines strategic responses to the problem of declining numbers. Hope for the Church is, in essence, a plea to the church not to lose heart, but to be pro-active in the face of rapid social change.

Features up-to-date analysis of church attendance figures and practical growth strategies for all levels of leadership.

`A brilliant analysis of this phenomenon by the Revd Bob Jackson, with some creative suggestions for change.´ Mary Ann Sieghart, The Times.
