Church Leadership & Ministry

“In my first groggy moments after waking up in an unfamiliar bed on vacation, nothing is more reassuring and clarifying than my wife's voice saying, "Remember, you're in a hotel room." Weary church leaders will experience a similar reaction to Lee Eclov's crucial refrain in this book: "Remember, your church is a home." By drawing liberally from Scripture and his considerable pastoral experience, Eclov replaces dry, corporate metaphors for ministry with warm, encouraging—but never overly saccharine—stories of God's people as a family. I especially appreciate the thoughtful and creative ways he implements these biblical concepts in his own congregation. Eclov's pastoral heart beats on every page. I never felt like I was "eating my veggies," but I know my understanding of church life is healthier having read this book.”
