This Old Church: The Indispensable Guide for Restoring Church Buildings

Description: ""From the squeaky floors to the crumbling towers and from peeling paint to the falling ceiling, parishioners love to talk about any restoration work, as many have already had similar experiences with their own homes. But to move from talking to action is a long and costly road. Proper planning of any restoration work is a must to ensure good results. Such planning requires many groups of competent people."" --Ion Grumeza This Old Church is not a book about how to build a new church building; it's a book about how to restore the church building you already have.
