The author of this book, Robert Alexander, has previously penned four books as follows: Book 1 Religion; a Brief History This book faces today's faith challenges; the conflicts and the controversies and to those positive areas of religious cooperation, mission, stewardship and commonality of purpose. Book 2 Broken Wineskins; a Declining Church Focuses on the causes of the churches' decline over the past 70 years; cultural and sociological changes, migration, modernism, and theological liberalism that have mostly impacted the younger church generations. However, the greater negative impact has been that of church leadership failures Book 3 The Largest Churches in the World; the good and the not so good. This book looks at the largest churches in the world according to their attendance at worship services; then at the new underground church networks with their massive numbers. The book then provides a study of why a host of churches have been growing faster over the last three decades than ever before. Book 4 Faith's Missing Link; JOY The early church was full of joy. One of the goals of every church should be to restore the joy of the early church. The words, " Rejoice and be glad" were used frequently by the biblical writers in salutations, encouragements and in the admonishment closings of their letters.
