LifeandLeadership.com Summary

This is an excellent volume on how to lead a church through the process of deriving what is often called “corporate core content” or values, mission, vision, and planning. In one sense, it is a shorter version of similar material found in Malphurs, Advanced Strategic Planning, which places these processes into the larger picture of congregational redevelopment.

From the Publisher

Since Aubrey Malphurs first wrote Ministry Nuts and Bolts in 1997 he has gathered even more insights and strategies thanks to his work consulting for churches, his further research, and the classes he teaches at Dallas Theological Seminary. He has applied this expanded knowledge to the second edition of Ministry Nuts and Bolts, a helpful guide designed to teach pastors what they need to know about the day-to-day, nitty-gritty of leading a pastorate-things that aren’t taught in seminary.
