How Shall We Gather?
An Exegetical and Practical Perspective - 2 Complete Volumes!
"While many authors write with joy, I usually write with a great burden God places upon my heart that is not removed until I obey His summons to write. Thus, under divine obligation, this new release HOW SHALL WE GATHER? How to Thrive in the Midst Church Decline deals from a deep exegetical and practical point of view, principles for thriving in today's church decline. Churches across America are declining at a phenomenal rate. This book will bless many pastors, members of churches, and even those who are dedicated to the social and spiritual welfare of our country and world."
- D. I. Temple, Sr.
From the FOREWORD by REV. DR. DONALD L. PARSON - "I salute Dr. Derrick I. Temple, Sr. for having the prophetic clarity to discern the growing disconnect between the biblical portrait of the Church in Holy Scripture, and the caricatures that masquerade as "The Church of the New Testament" today. A quest to quickly remedy the Pre and Post-Pandemic decline of the Christian Church in America has led to a myriad of personas and perspectives disguised as churches. I gladly agreed to pen this Foreword because I recognized that Pastor Temple has the intellectual and spiritual gifts to provide clear Bible-Based strategies for Post-Pandemic ministries. Derrick Temple's academic excellence, biblical acumen, scriptural understanding, pastoral, and practical experience has prepared him to share this important work HOW SHALL WE GATHER? for such a time as this. He also possesses a determination fueled by the urgency of "Now." Derrick senses the correlation between church decline and society's slide into the abyss of godlessness."
