Famine in the Church

I'm reading an amazing book right now called The Divine Mentor. The author, Wayne Cordeiro, talks about a famine in the church today. Even though we in the church have a plethora of Christian books, events, seminars, on-line sermons, stacks of Bibles, etc. (last year we Americans spent 59 billion dollars on Christian products and programs), Cordeiro says we're suffering from spiritual malnutrition.

I hate to say it, but I think he's right.

What's the problem? Why the famine? Who should we blame? I'll leave those questions hanging so we all have something to think about.
