Publisher's Description
The church finds itself in a period of great diversification and multiple expressions. In the midst of great change, we have become confused about what really makes for healthy and authentic pastoral leadership. What are the basic and common characteristics necessary for pastors to be effective? How can lay people understand the pastoral call more fully and partner better with pastors for the health of their church? Here Mannoia and Walkemeyer examine the foundations of pastoral effectiveness and bring together nine experienced pastoral leaders to discuss the basic characteristics that exist in effective pastors. Regardless of context or personality, ineffectiveness in pastors and subsequent ill health in churches is often not the result of a lack of calling, but instead is the result of misappropriated efforts to find success. Let's help those who are called to be good stewards of their call. And let's help churches have a chance to be healthy under the leadership of effective pastors!

“15 CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE PASTORS: HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR INNER CORE AND MINISTRY IMPACT 15 CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE PASTORS: HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR INNER CORE AND MINISTRY IMPACT I wish I had been able to read this book when I began my ministry. It is full of valuable insights to help pastors navigate the perilous waters of leadership in the Church. The panel of experts adds multiplied worth and assurance that these are not just off-the-cuff ideas. This is a must-read for every pastor and lay leader. It gives pastors something to guide them, and Kevin Mannoia's usual creative slant on deep truths helps to put it all within easy reach. The word pictures alone are worth the price of the book. If you thought effectiveness was about a pat formula, you need to soak yourself in the wisdom of this book. You will never think the same about pastoral effectiveness.”
