Just over two weeks ago my pastor [Father Michael J. White](http://nativitypastor.tv/) and his associate [Thomas W. Corcoran](http://twitter.com/thomaswcorcoran) released their first book [*Rebuilt: Awakening the Faithful, Reaching the Lost, Making Church Matter*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594713863/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1594713863&linkCode=as2&tag=marayoutmini-20) ([Ave Maria Press](https://www.avemariapress.com/)).  The book is the story of two guys working in a local Catholic parish ([Church of the Nativity](http://churchnativity.tv/)), frustrated with the “*Business As Usual*” approach that was slowly killing their church.

[*Rebuilt*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594713863/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1594713863&linkCode=as2&tag=marayoutmini-20) explains how Father White and Tom pursued the challenge to revive and rebuild their local church.  This is a challenge that they want to share with you.  While this is written in the context of a local Roman Catholic Parish in a Baltimore suburb, this book is for anyone who wants to make church matter once again.  [*Rebuilt*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594713863/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1594713863&linkCode=as2&tag=marayoutmini-20) is filled with the practical lessons and steps taken to make [Church of the Nativity](http://churchnativity.tv/) a thriving and relevant church.

As someone who has worked with Tom and Father White the last 8 plus years I’ve been blessed to be a part of the journey.  I’m so excited for this book because I know it will help those of you who love your church make it matter once again.  Plus, another element that makes this book great is it’s website ([*Go here*](http://rebuiltparish.com/)) filled with tips and insights from the entire Church of the Nativity staff.

Two weeks ago Marathon Youth Ministry gave you the opportunity to win a free copy of this book, and I thank everyone who left a [comment](http://disq.us/8cide4) and shared why they love the local church.  Unfortunately, not everyone could get a free copy (*This is a small time operation*); however, three of you did.  Here are your contest winners:
