New in my first ministry, I opened this book to build a solid foundation for my practice. Each month for 9-10 months, I went chapter by chapter with my supervisor (who also bought the book). It was helpful to dive deeper by answering the "Questions to Ponder" at the end of each chapter. Recommended! ( ) no reviews | add a review
Is helping others overrated? Is ministry a recipe for burnout? How can pastors last the course? Author and pastor Margaret Marcuson introduces the notion of "sustainable ministry," which trains and empowers pastors to focus on their inner resources for proactive leadership, instead of trying harder to help, fix or change others. Leaders Who Last draws upon the author's own pastoral experience and leadership, plus a significant analysis of leadership in both families and churches over generations. Interviews with current church leaders punctuate chapters on stress, spiritual practice, church triangles, relationships, self-awareness, money, and creating a climate where true change can take place.
