Full Description

Practical guidance on more than fifty aspects of everyday church ministry life

· quick-reference guide
· easy-to-navigate Q&A format
· answers to (almost) every question you have

No matter what your education, no amount of schooling can prepare a pastor for a so-called "typical" day of ministry. Pastors are teachers, counselors, evangelists, and cheerleaders. They are a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear. They're CEOs and janitors. Sometimes all in a 24-hour period. And somewhere in the midst of all that, there's a sermon to prepare.

Where is a busy pastor to turn for help when a new situation or problem arises? The Ministry Answer Book for Pastors is your quick-reference guide to (almost) everything you need to know to lead your church. Organized in an easy-to-navigate Q&A format, this must-have resource from trusted church consultant and author Gary L. McIntosh is destined to be your well-worn, dog-eared, go-to guide for when you run into an unforeseen or unfamiliar problem, including

· decision-making
· starting and leaving a ministry
· weddings, funerals, and hospital visitation
· outreach training
· budgeting
· working with a church board
· holding effective meetings
· recruiting and delegating
· staff development
· discipleship
· and much more
