Church Leadership & Ministry

“With the skill of a quilter, Professor Cook Everist pieces together stories that lead us to reflect upon the Church and how congregations are called and equipped for God's mission. Rather than an extensive discourse on abstract ideas, she offers engagement in the contexts of ministry, stitching through the particulars to reveal the patterns and contrasts. This book will be a great resource for congregational leaders to use together to open meetings and to encourage small group discussion regarding congregational identity and mission.”
