Revised & Expanded - 10th Anniversary Edition Divine Renovation

THE BOOK THAT IGNITED A GLOBAL MOVEMENT

This is the book that started a worldwide conversation about what it means to be a missionary parish—and ten years later, its impact is still growing. Divine Renovation challenged parishes to go beyond maintaining buildings, programs, and parishioners and embrace their true mission: to make disciples.

This 10th Anniversary Edition features updated content, commentary by Fr. James, and new chapters from a bishop, several priests, and a lay person, who share firsthand stories of parish transformation in their own contexts. Alongside Fr. James’ practical strategies and pastoral guidance, these reflections offer fresh insights and encouragement for any parish ready to move from maintenance to mission.

Rooted in Church teaching and filled with real-world examples, this edition provides both inspiration and actionable steps for parish leaders seeking to make a lasting impact. The Church needs missionary parishes more than ever—and this book shows what’s possible.
