Seasoned pastors as well as those just called praise its valuable insights.Part One suggests three purposes of God the Father for his family, the church: becoming a spiritual dwelling (worship), raising God's children (discipleship), and inviting everyone into the family (evangelism).Part Two draws on experience to illustrate advice on pastoral life, from call through personal and family issues to moving and retirement.Part Three gives practical tips on leadership, preaching, worship, ministries, buildings, finances, administration, working with other churches, and dealing with problems.A pastor for 38 years, Dr. Wentz holds advanced degrees from evangelical, mainline, and charismatic seminaries. He is the author of three other books.If a pastor or church can have only one book besides the Bible, this is designed to be most helpful.
