That is because Marti Jewell writes  from her ability `to listen with the ear of her heart' to the lived  experience of pastoral leaders who reap the backlash and hopes of  parishes in transition. This book does not leave a pastoral leader  powerless in navigating transition; it provides the complexity of system  change as well as a resource for dialogue among pastoral leaders.  Pondering responses posed by Jewell will once again focus the mission of  the Gospel for the good of the community.Barbara Sutton, Associate Dean, Formation and Outreach, School of Theology, St. John's University\u003cbr\u003eAny transition or  change can either be a time of panic or adventure. The materials  presented in this guide offer a means of hope and new life, of looking  back and moving forward, of grief and acceptance. As a pastoral  minister, I have experienced many aspects of what is reflected in the  pages of this guide. I found that I did make it through the change, the  transition and am better prepared for ministry because of it. I would  highly recommend this book as a tool, a gift, to all pastoral ministers  whether in transition now or in the future. It gives a sense of hope and  new life amidst the pain of change in our lives.Sister Theresa Khirallah, SSND, Director of Ministries, Diocese of Dallas\u003cbr\u003eA highly  recommended resource for parish leaders who are planning for or in the  midst of a change in pastors. This guide has it all-an excellent  well-explained section on the theory behind the stages of the change  process, great personal reflection questions for parish leaders for each  step along the way, a well thought out Q \u0026amp; A section, and my  favorite chapter-a smorgasbord of practical ideas and strategies.Mark Mogilka, Director, Stewardship and Pastoral Services, Diocese of Green Bay\u003cbr\u003eFilled with well tested practical strategies, \u003ci\u003eNavigating Pastoral Transitions\u003c\/i\u003e  is an invaluable resource for pastors, parish staffs, and parish  leaders, wanting to navigate a pastor change with care, creativity, and  hope.Sal Della Bella, Director of Evangelization, Archdiocese of Louisville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Preface   vii\u003cbr\u003e Introduction   1\u003cbr\u003e Begin with Endings   9\u003cbr\u003e Wandering Through the Middle Ground   15\u003cbr\u003e Launching New Beginnings   25\u003cbr\u003e Frequently Asked Questions   32\u003cbr\u003e Strategies for Effective Transition   39\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography   47","brand":"Liturgical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768170807639,"sku":"9780814638064","price":13.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780814638064.jpg?v=1758716679","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/navigating-pastoral-transitions-a-parish-leaders-guide-9780814638064","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
