Official synopsis Publisher
Today’s pastor has to do more than just preach, teach and visit hospitals and nursing homes. In today’s church environment, pastors must have organizational skills. They must know something about money and finances. They must be able to have an articulate conversation with the banker concerning their vision for church growth and expansion. They must understand the many pitfalls of lack of appropriate human resource management involving both paid and volunteer staff. Today’s successful pastors understand the importance of post-pulpit activity. In other words, what happens Monday through Friday is just as important as what happens on Sunday. By reading this book, you will be able to begin the process of becoming the Pastor CEO that today’s church is requiring. In this book, I share some of my personal triumphs and tragedies along this pastoral walk, in hopes that you will be able to gain some insight from them. While this book can never replace formal and ongoing training, I am sure that you will benefit from taking the time to read and study this manuscript.
