I am currently take a course for Tozer Seminary called: "Politics, Legalities and Money". The class has really been super helpful and has impressed me as to the content we have studied for the course. I just emailed my final paper to a great friend who will edit it, make it bleed, and then help me correct my grammar.
For this course I sought more external resources than I ever have for a final paper because of the nature of the class. Thanks to a classmate I was able to get a handful of helpful books from the Simpson University Library. One of them is
Mastering Church Management. Now I am sure that most of you will not run off to Amazon to get the book but I think you may want to reconsider that. This book has a some great information contained within the interesting looking cover and was considerably more helpful then I had imagined it would be!
The book was helpful with information on maintaining staff moral, encouraging staff members, staff transition and lots of other areas of staff leadership. I was thinking to myself today about how cool it is that the principles laid out in this book are still applicable some 25+ years later. If you are thinking about becoming an executive pastor, lead pastor or church planter I am going to recommend this book to you.
Favorite Quote: "Devoting time to nurturing staff members' competence and interpersonal relationships says we value them, not just their ministry output." page 148
