5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource, April 2, 2008
By 
This review is from: Leading the Congregation: Caring for Yourself While Serving the People (Paperback)
This book was hard to read sometimes. It is so full of assessment tools and helpful info that sometimes it was hard to admit or acknowledge that the issues of ministry were not just the "people" but me. Smile. I would reccommend this to all who are anticipating entering the pastorate or looking to sharpen their their skills as a leader of a congregation. It can also serve as a resource for ongoing training of ministers, pastors, bishops, etc. Full of useful and practical information. You won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars A supportive and practical book!, September 21, 2005
The book states that this is a "complete and definitive guide to the practice of church leadership" and it is. It covers all aspects of guiding the flock and caring for yourself with spiritual integrity and service. Highly recommended!

This review is from: Leading the Congregation: Caring for Yourself While Serving the People (Paperback)
As a senior, at Vanguard University, heading into the ministry full time I find this book helpful, it is the best book on leadership I have ever read. Professor Roger Heuser and Norman Shawchuck out did themselves. Word on the street is that the revised book is coming out in the next year, I know for a fact that they are working on it this summer, 2010. It would be good to get the revised version it will have a lot more to present.
