Excerpt from the DJ flap:
Charles Dickens opened his classic novel, A Tale of Two Cities, with the now familiar lines, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Nothing could be more true for the church as we move into the 21st century.
Characterized by rapid upheaval both culturally and spiritually, these are for us among the worst of times. Yet they hold for us the strategic opportunity to present the clarity of the Gospel and the power of biblical alternatives to a world that more than ever has an awareness of the deep needs and emptiness of life.
In this challenging, hands-on volume, the author calls today's spiritual leaders to renewed vision, commitment, and strategic action. Key to his discussion are the issues of character, effective proclamation, spiritual giftedness and the importance of the shepherd's attention to spiritual growth, family relationships, and time and stress management.
These nonnegotiables of ministry are cast against the backdrop of the challenge of a paganized society, and are rooted in the instructions of Paul to Timoth in 1 Timothy 4.
