Description
Book Synopsis There are some astonishing gaps in the information with which church leaders are expected to guide their congregation. Some things are never said that would be of great usefulness if brought to the fore, discussed honestly and learnt from. How much pain, heartaches and mistakes would be prevented if the topics in this book were explored.
These short and thought provoking chapters will enable you to think through the issues involved in leading a congregation in your own context and enable you to serve your flock with greater success.
Trade Review‘... refreshingly candid, consistently thought-provoking, and eminently practical.'
-- Phillip R. Johnson, Executive Director, Grace to You Ministries (Executive Director, Grace to You Ministries, Sun Valley, California)
This little book will be an invaluable addition to the libraries of those coming into pastoral ministry and a useful reference guide and reminder of priorities for those who have been in the ministry for many years.

‘Reid Ferguson clearly knows ministry inside out, he knows people with all their fears and foibles but more importantly he knows God. I have no doubt that this book will help to raise the bar...'
-- David Meredith, Culloden Free Church, Inverness, Scotland (Mission Director, Free Church of Scotland, Inverness)
When we are dispirited; when we feel unappreciated, opposed or unsupported; the wisest responses can be considered from these pages. Read a chapter every week!
