Concise, easy-to-use workbook offers clear step-by-step instructions to work through the four stages of effective long-term planning in Callahan's book. It's organized so that the local church can move through these four stages in six planning sessions. It shows how to determine your church's strengths and weaknesses in each of the 12 central characteristics and how to set key objectives ande timelines that increase the effectiveness of your congregation.

This book has become a vital instrument in the revitalization of my place of worship.

As a church pastor I have used this and it works! A very practical, straight foward way to evaluate the potential for your church and where you church is currently in its' mission. It also enables participants discover where their church should go. Very effective for leadership retreats or as the model for a five or ten year plan for a church. This puts Callahan's Twelve Keys to an Effective Church into "workbook" form, so that the church board may develop a clear vision of ministry. This should be, not on every pastor's bookshelf, but on his or her desk. Two thumbs up, way up!!!
