Description

La Reconstrucción de una Parroquia is the Spanish edition of the best-selling book, Rebuilt. Drawing on the wisdom gleaned from thriving mega-churches and innovative business leaders while anchoring their vision in the Eucharistic center of Catholic faith, Fr. Michael White and lay associate Tom Corcoran present the compelling and inspiring story to how they brought their parish back to life.

La Reconstrucción de una Parroquia is a story of stopping everything and changing focus. When their parish reached a breaking point, White and Corcoran asked themselves how they could make the Church matter to Catholics, and they realized the answer was at the heart of the Gospel. Their faithful response not only tripled their weekend mass attendance, but also yielded increased giving, flourishing ministries, and a vibrant, solidly Catholic spiritual revival. White and Corcoran invite all Catholic leaders to share the vision, borrow their strategies, and rebuild their own parishes. They offer a wealth of guidance for anyone with the courage to hear them.

La Reconstrucción de una Parroquia es la edición en español del exitoso libro Rebuilt. Basándose en la sabiduría aprendida de mega iglesias florecientes y de líderes de negocios innovadores, mientras que anclan su misión en el centro eucarístico de la fe católica, el P. Richard White y su asociado laico Tom Corcoran presentan la historia atractiva e inspiradora de cómo lograron revitalizar su parroquia.

La Reconstrucción de una Parroquia es un relato de cómo detener toda la actividad y cambiar de enfoque. Cuando su parroquia llegó a un punto de crisis, White y Corcoran se preguntaron cómo podían hacer que la Iglesia interesara e importara a los católicos, y se dieron cuenta de que la respuesta estaban en el corazón del Evangelio. Su respuesta fiel no sólo triplicó la asistencia semanal a Misa, sino que también consiguió mayor colecta, ministerios florecientes y una revitalización vibrante y sólida de la espiritualidad católica. White y Corcoran invitan a todos los líderes católicos a compartir esa misión, tomar prestadas sus estrategias y reconstruir sus propias parroquias. Ofrecen una gran riqueza de orientación para cualquiera que tenga la valentía de escucharlos.
