Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to failure in ministry is painful for all touched by it. The journey toward failure is unchosen, undesired, and unplanned. When it occurs, we all ask ourselves this one question: why? The result of failure is the loss of many well-trained and adequately equipped men and women from churches. Often, they disappear into oblivion. This has been true throughout history. It’s not a new problem. Witness the experiences of Abraham, David, Elijah, and Peter in Scripture. They served well, but they also failed, disappointing God and their associates. Modern pastors, too, become entrapped in situations of fear, loneliness, depression, and failure. We must address ways to prevent failure and learn about possibilities for intervention in order to be the witnessing church that God intends us to be.

Life is about relationships, good and bad.
Individualism may feel strong. In reality, it’s much weaker than when we stand together.
Much of the joy of life comes from the manner in which others touch our lives. Do you remember the last time someone touched your life with a word of encouragement? Your response may have been a smile or a sense of joy. Not all touches are like that. Some people touch our lives with pain through hurtful comments, insinuation, or even lies.
Solomon declared that life and death are in the power of the tongue. Our conversations are a key contributor to the effects we have on one another. This book is an invitation to explore the impact of others on us and our influence on them. It takes courage to nurture others and accept their nurturing. Communication coupled with action is the key to growth when we’ve experienced God as the source of our spiritual lives in Christ.
“Glenn Taylor’s writing on the subject of healthy relationships is the outcome [of] a lifelong commitment to living fully into all aspects of life. As a result, this book has deep roots and a solid foundation. I commend it to you.”
—Dr. Rod Wilson, Vancouver, B.C.
“There is no substitute for a firsthand witness. This is as true today as it was for the Resurrection. This book is the direct result of a truly empathetic faithful witness… This is a must read for anyone who is involved in ministry, counseling, or leadership of any kind.”
—James Tughan, Canadian Artist, Oakville, Ontario
“I believe the chapter on the importance of the community of faith as a place for receiving love, nurture, and healing meets a critical need in our disconnected society.”
—Marvin Brubacher, Director of MentorLink Canada

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Am I done here? Do I have something further to offer this congregation? Is it time to seek a leadership position elsewhere? Or is this merely a case of spring fever? Many pastors wrestle with questions like these each year, never sure if the time is right for a pastoral move. Veteran pastor Stan Toler comes alongside the pastor in transition to help assess the reasons for change and be sure that the decision to move--and the move itself--will go smoothly. Subjects include: assessing your leadership potential, assessing your leadership fit, reasons to consider a change, reasons to consider staying, selecting your next ministry setting, presenting yourself well in person and in print, interviewing, negotiating compensation, family moving do's and don'ts, establishing your new home, and the first 90 days of a new pastorate.

Download or read book The Changeover Zone written by Jim Ozier and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How clergy and congregations can navigate the tricky transition from one pastor to the next. The Changeover Zone addresses a critical and perennial need in the church: the process of handing the baton of pastoral leadership from one person to the next. Authors Jim Ozier and Jim Griffith offer practical, clear instructions and guidance for both clergy and congregations. They provide detailed sections especially for clergy who are taking over from a founding pastor and for those replacing long-tenured pastors. The book is packed with real-church examples, helpful tips and tactics that have been proven successful. This resource will expertly guide pastors, supervisors, and congregations in nearly any church setting or denomination. I just love this quote from the book: "How fast you run will keep you in the race; how well you hand off will win it". Over the next 10 years we will see one of the largest pastoral leadership transitions in our history. How well we handle this hand-off to the next generation may well determine our future. The Changeover Zone is timely, helpful and insightful as we approach these transitions in leadership. Every personnel committee, pastor, judicatory leader, district superintendent and bishop should read this book before approaching any major leadership changes. --Bob Farr, Director of Congregational Excellence, MO Conference, UMC; author, The Necessary Nine The Changeover Zone provides a roadmap for how to make healthy pastoral transitions, especially in churches making their first transition or first transition in a long time. This book will help you learn how to not only survive a church pastoral transition but how to thrive and gain momentum through the transition. We have utilized this roadmap in East Ohio and it works. I recommend this book to anyone involved with pastoral transitions at any level. --Kelly P. Brown, Director of Congregational Vitality, East Ohio Conference, UMC A great resource for pastors and churches who are going through transitions. I love how the change in a church pastor is seen not as an event, but as more of a process and from various key perspectives. This will be a valuable tool for my coaching with pastors and churches who are entering a season of transition. --Ken Willard, leadership coach, certified church consultant, and author, Time Management for the Christian Leader When our church learned that both long tenured pastors were leaving at the same, we knew we needed expert help. Jim Ozier led our leaders in a workshop based on The Changeover Zone to prepare us for this scary change. In this book the authors use sound biblical footing to show you what to do and how to do it, as you go through a pastoral change. --Cheryl Lee, SPPR Chairman, Ebenezer United Methodist Church, Suffolk, VA The action plan for the 100 days before and after a change of pastors (the Changeover Zone) is brimming with time-tested wisdom. Pastors, churches, and supervisors will be prepared to not only minimize the pain and confusion that comes with pastoral transitions, but actually maximize the potential for growth and new life in congregations. --Ken Irby, Shreveport District Superintendent, Louisiana Annual Conference, UMC This book is filled with insight and excellent counsel. I have been using the authors’ advice on making a great handoff for several years. You will nod your head as you read, and say, Of Course. Keep nodding. It will make a difference in raising up stronger leaders and building reproducible systems. And that’s what we all want. --Cathy Townley, Townley Coaching FINALLY! A simple, straightforward way to think about an essential part of ministry - transitions. Transitions can make or break a ministry and too often they happen without the purposeful thought that can make them successful. Whether your context is a new start pastor moving on or a long tenured pastor receiving a new appointment, this book will be your comprehensive guide in the process of ending well and starting strong.- Rev. Nicole Reilley, Director of New Ministries, Cal-Pac Conference

Book excerpt: When a pastor has served at one church for a long time, they are considered “legends.” They are held in high regard for having conducted marriage ceremonies, presided over funerals, and led congregants through their most difficult moments. But when a new pastor is called to serve, they are often met with skepticism or unfair expectations. Many times, they find congregants who are unwilling to be challenged or change. The Rev. Dr. Marcus D. Allen draws on questionnaires of African American Baptist congregations and interviews with ten pastors called to lead churches in this guide for new pastor’s intent on making a difference. Learn how to: • navigate the transition process in a smooth fashion; • energize and encourage congregations to move to the next level; • help the church regain confidence and overcome the challenges of transition; • lead congregants in mourning a former leader who has died or been called to serve elsewhere. Each pastoral call comes with various transitional challenges, and it’s important to be ready for whatever is ahead. Get guidance to inspire others and achieve success with the lessons in I Got Next.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Leadership change can be one of the most painful or fulfilling experiences a leader can encounter. In Passing the Baton, Dr. Terry Roberts helps us through this process. It is by far the best document I have read on this subject. A must read." Pastor Tommy Barnett, Founder of Los Angeles and Phoenix Dream Centers "Passing the Baton, by Dr. Terry Roberts, is long overdue. This concise, user-friendly manual will provide a pastor or church board a strategy to give guidance in one of the major changes that every church will face in its lifetime, a pastoral transition." -- Rev. Victor Smith, Superintendent, South Carolina District Assemblies of God "This book is a must-read for all ministry leaders who wish to steward their calling, ministry and organization with excellence. Terry Roberts tackles the tough issues of pastoral transition and offers a clear guide to navigating this - potentially turbulent - season of leadership with a high degree of excellence and confidence. Passing the Baton of leadership to the emerging generation of ministry leaders can be navigated with assurance and conviction when we apply the wisdom of this book to a season of transition. I know this book will have a great impact among ministry leaders." -- Dr. Kent Ingle, President, Southeastern University, Lakeland, Florida "Pastors planning to retire or transition are wise to put Terry Roberts' concise book on pastoral transition into every leader's hand. Pastoral succession shouldn't be disruptive to the congregation. Here's how to avoid a heart-wrenching crisis." -- Rev. Ed Nelson, Executive Secretary-Treasurer, South Carolina District Assemblies of God "Upon receiving Dr. Terry Roberts' book, Passing the Baton, I recommended it to the president and four other regional directors of Open Bible Churches. Its concise and relevant writing makes it a 'must read' for every leader interested in finding the right successor in leadership transition." -- Dr. Jim Beaird, Executive Director, Southeast Region, Open Bible Churches "Thousands of churches have suffered greatly from well-meaning, but mismanaged, pastoral transition. What often seems the best way to select a new pastor can lead to deep conflict, resentment, and a loss of effective ministry. Dr. Terry Roberts has used extensive research in conjunction with a lifetime of ministry leadership experience to lay out a clear and healthy model for church transition that is an essential tool for those on both sides of the interview table. I highly encourage church boards, denominational leaders, and pastors to carefully read and follow Roberts' approach detailed in this excellent book." -- Dr. Alan Ehler, Dean, College of Christian Ministries and Religion, Southeastern University, Lakeland, Florida "Passing the Baton: Planning for Pastoral Transition is such a fine work for local church boards, pulpit committees, and congregational insights. It represents a perfect resource for churches whose methods for seeking spiritual leadership for their pulpits, as well as top tier posts, need clarifying and finding a wise focus for searching out these often times elusive leaders. Any congregation and its internal leadership who embrace [its message] will have, at its root, the makings of a Holy Spirit led direction. Terry Roberts has brought that message into sharp focus in this book. He has thought it through, and for those who read it and take it to heart, their lives will be forever changed as a result." -- Rev. T. Ray Rachels, Executive Presbyter, General Council of the Assemblies of God "In Passing the Baton, Dr. Terry Roberts provides an invaluable and practical guide for pastors and congregations as they face the inevitable need to plan for transition in their pastoral leadership. I strongly and highly recommend it as a resource." Alonzo Johnson, Ph.D., Superintendent, Church of God in Christ, South Carolina Jurisdiction

The distinctiveness of this book is that it offers a fine blend of solid research, workable theory, and specific strategies for successfully ministering to and with youth in crisis. Furthermore, it emphasizes the caring and sensitive side of working effectively with adolescents experiencing both normal and extreme crisis situations. This volume, therefore, is both descriptive and prescriptive in nature, in that it describes the world teens live in and offers biblical responses for ministry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned philosopher Frederick Ferré invites us to contemplate a new world to be constructed out of the debris of modernity. Hellfire and Lightning Rods displays a vision in which the dichotomies between religion, philosophy, science, and technology can be seen as too-narrow construals of a single, but polyvalent, organic world. Ferré wisely notes that the conceptual worlds of premodern animism, modern “scientism,” and biblical orthodoxy have major internal flaws and create immense practical problems. Yet, while they are largely unconvincing to persons who see the need for “postmodern” approaches, a successor to these views is nowhere near universally accepted. In that context, Ferré suggests that an important interim worldview that he calls “multi-mythic organicism” will help humanity recover spiritual dimensions now lacking.
