Rebuilt

I expected *Rebuilt* to be another dry church growth manifesto, but White and Corcoran served up a wake-up call wrapped in a how-to. The audiobook’s dual narration works surprisingly well—White’s rough-hewn delivery (think late-night radio host) lends credibility to the ‘we’ve messed this up too’ confessions, while Corcoran’s smooth pacing prevents the stats-heavy sections from feeling like a business seminar. My only gripe? The middle third drags a bit with too many case studies about specific programs, which, while instructive, could’ve been tighter. That said, the chapter on ‘discipleship groups’ hit me hard—I’d never considered how our parish’s small-group model was actually *isolating* newcomers. The production is clean, with zero annoying ads or promo breaks, though the audio levels dip slightly during White’s more animated moments. What sold me was the raw admission that ‘we tried this and it failed’—a rarity in faith-based books that usually preach perfection. Fans of *Divine Renovation* will find familiar DNA here, but *Rebuilt* digs deeper into the financial and staffing realities of parish turnarounds. Worth a listen even if you’re not a pastor—just skip the chapters about their old outreach events and focus on the principles. The epilogue alone is worth the credit.
