We don’t keep score in church. However, church leaders need to know how to win. Additionally, congregations need to know when to cheer. 7 Practices of Effective Ministry by Andy Stanley, Reggie Joiner and Land Jones, speaks to every church leader who longs for a simpler, more effective approach to ministry. The authors decided to write an engaging parable about the overwhelming and complicated life of a local pastor. Rather than come straight at those in ministry with formulas and lists, they engage readers in an effort to have them identify with the character. Reinforced by relevant discussion questions, these seven clear, easy, and strategic practices can turn any ministry into a winning team. At present, your ministry is designed to produce the results you are currently experiencing. If you don’t like the results you are getting, then it’s time for a change.
