Where have all the Christians gone? We are told by experts that every mainline denomination in the U.S. has either plateaued or is in decline. Why? Some people leave the church because they have become so busy or enamored with their lives they have placed involvement in the community of faith way down their list of important things to do. Others have succumbed to bitterness due to the failure of leaders or the refusal of the church to tackle tough issues. To plug back into church feels like a horrendous compromise of their personal integrity. But a third group of people leave because of brokenness. When they make a mess of their lives and want to make it right, they either don't know how to come back home or they feel that they are no longer welcome. It is this group that Walker deals with in his book Missing Treasures: How to Help Wayward Christians Come Back Home. Using the story of the Prodigal Son the author builds a template for how any Christian can minister to displaced believers. He also tells of his own journey of how after years of defeat and bitterness he returned to the Lord and to the communal blessings of doing life with other Believers. If you have a heart of compassion for broken saints you will want to get a copy of this compelling story and convicting call for the church to fully embrace the ministry of reclamation!"
