Editorial Reviews

Review
"The church has had to wait too long for this indispensable material. Dr. Callahan's careful attention to detail and practical church programming is balanced by a depth of theological understanding and an earnest desire to help the church move from maintenance to mission. This book will give direction to the church for many years to come." (George Morris, Institute for World Evangelism)

"[An] excellent book for churches that are contemplating renewal.... [Callahan] understands the need for objective, measurable, and workable methods." (The Presbyterian Survey)

"Callahan has produced a book which should, for many years, be an effective guide for local congregations.... The book is realistic and does not place upon a congregation impossible demands, but holds to realistic hopes.... This book is useful for pastors and employed staff. It can be used by the various organizations within the church. Each organization would do well to read [it]." (Perkins Journal)

"This very readable book offers a step-by-step, how-to approach to its subject.... Clear, concise,...[it] must certainly be judged a valuable contribution to the task of congregational long-range planning." (The Christian Century)

Product Description
In this indispensable companion volume to Twelve Keys to an Effective Church, Kennon Callahan offers a practical, step-by-step guide for the most productive long-range planning. This guide will help both pastors and church leaders assess the strengths and weaknesses of their churches in 12 areas -- ranging from specific mission objectives to solid financial resources -- and shows leaders how to determine which methods will work best to advance their church and move their congregations toward action, accomplishment, and success.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth serious study, September 3, 2007
I have read, studied and utilised the work of Kennon Callahan as a church consultant. Apart from an outdated approach to church/parish visitation (which Callahan covers in a later book "Visiting in an Age of Mission" - very practical) this book with its companion volume is hard to beat.
