Book Description

A book that exhorts and encourages Christian ministers and leaders to be committed to the principled model for successful ministry that God has established through the teaching of the New Testament. Many people today think the most effective means to reach this postmodern world for Christ is for the church to become more attractive and relevant to the culture. It must reinvent itself, adjust its gospel message, be less dogmatic, more therapeutic, tolerant, and entertaining. It must pander to the culture, take up its social causes, even conform to itƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"but never oppose it. Yet such a position is totally foreign to Scripture and therefore mitigates the power and blessing of God. With clarity and conviction, Dave Harrell guides readers through the priorities of a biblically focused ministry paradigmƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"a paradigm that transcends the vagaries of modern cultureƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"that may be applied with confidence by ministers and Christian leaders alike.

Book Description

The Secret of a Successful Christian Ministry is a short work inspired by a burning passion to ensure that contemporary Christian ministries thrive under a leadership that is solidly anchored in the Lord Jesus Christ and in biblical principles for leading the congregations of Christ. Drawing strength from the idea that the shepherd is the single most important factor that makes the difference between success and failure in Christian ministries, the book discusses a series of factors that could ensure a successful ministry for the Christian leader from the time he first receives his calling from God to the time he finishes his lifes course. The presentation is illustrated with a wealth of biblical examples, contemporary real ministry cases and historical anecdotes which give an insight into why some ministers have failed and why others have succeeded. Obviously inspired by the Holy Spirit to improve the leadership of the church in these end times, the book is not only an invaluable asset to any Christian minister who is eager for success in his calling but also a fruitful addition to the library of the average reader.

Book Description

Over a period of years, Donald Smith probed, analyzed, interpreted, and reinterpreted data pertaining to what makes for effective ministry. Through all his research, one fact kept emerging: Pastors who focus on empowering others are recognized as the most effective in their ministry. Empowering Ministry distills the best information about cultivating an effective ministry stance from the voices of several hundred highly effective congregational leaders, offering readers the benefit of many lifetimes of pastoral experience. Smith deals extensively with how pastors empower others, as well as with how they have been and continue to be empowered themselves. He also discusses the requisite skills needed for motivating and energizing others. The book offers a realistic look at life in the ministerial pressure cooker and confronts the issues of stress and burnout. Specific steps the reader can take to grow and nurture an effective ministry are included. Empowering Ministry is for pastors who are enriching their work, for the seminary student preparing for ministry, and for anyone working closely with their pastors in a quest for maximum pastoral effectiveness.
