Embracing God's Future without Forgetting the Past

Church Leadership & Ministry

“As is often said, 'The only thing that is constant in life is change.' Congregations that are healthy learn how to address the changes they face and continue to minister effectively in their communities. Not grieving the losses of past glory can get in the way of being flexible and adapting to changing circumstances. Girlinghouse's book gives useful information and practical exercises for doing this. This book will be very helpful to congregations willing to do this work.”

“David R. Brubaker and his colleagues combine astute academic insight with compassionate pastoral care to guide us in the difficult challenge of social polarization. This clearly written book will help leaders and others know how to be a positive force for change.”
