" NINE ROADS TO RENEWAL is a well-marked road map to a meaningful, serious pilgrimage for every seeking Christian group. Groups from Salem, New jersey south to Houston, Texas, north to Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Fox Lake, Wisconsin and east again to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Cleveland, Ohio have begun such a journey and have left some disturbingly clear sign-post for the discerning.
They have read well the signs of the time - pastors are agonizing over "new methods" to prod the apathetic parishioner to interest in the Church; churches are watching fearfully from behind their walls as members move to the suburbs and as young church members find nothing to excite them in the frenetic and competitive activity they sometimes see.

Pulsating through the whole book is the rediscovered meaning of koinonia, that special word for caring, sustaining fellowship as one man helps another to experiential realization that Jesus Christ is truly the way.
Their joy and enthusiasm tersely related by Author Walden Howard are contagious.

NINE ROADS TO RENEWAL will make the dissatisfied and yearning Christian envious of such exquisite joy, in the beginning, but will lead him to some definite conclusions about starting the jorney himself. "
