Summary

McCartney issues a clarion call for church leaders to check their spiritual vision and engage men in the quest to make great things happen in the church. Citing statistics showing that only one percent of churches are growing, McCartney argues that the ineffectiveness in many of today's churches is due to blind spots that hinder explosive evangelism. It is McCartney's passionate belief that if church leaders were to see and address the need for reconciliation throughout the body of Christ--inspiring and equipping men to work together with all believers--the church in America would see the biggest revival in its history. Along with ideas for overcoming blind spots, McCartney offers principles for reconciliation and success stories from actual churches.
