Reviving the Congregation: Pastoral Leadership in a Changing Context

Reviving the Congregation: Pastoral Leadership in a Changing Context

<p>Pastoral leadership has always been challenging, but clergy and parish leaders today face unprecedented challenges, many of which simply didn't exist a generation ago. The questions of ministry and leadership in the church today range broadly across the financial and the managerial, the spiritual and the interpersonal.</p><p> In such a time, a wise mentor who can articulate a way forward for others is an immeasurable help. In <I>Reviving the Congregation</I>, Michael W. Foss, best-selling author of <I>Power Surge</I>, steps forward as that mentor.</p><p>Bringing decades of experience in congregational life and leadership and a winsome style to the work, Foss offers a compelling introduction to the new context in which we lead, and the personal and congregational strategies that will offer a way forward.</p><p><I>Reviving the Congregation</I> is rooted in Foss's own experience, but it is open to all through questions for reflection, space for notes and journaling, and an extended bibliography for further reading.</p>
