Five Ministry KillersFive Ministry Killers and How to Defeat Them:
Help for Frustrated Pastors—Including New Research from the Barna Group
By Charles Stone (Bethany House, 2010)“Jesus says little or nothing about strategic planning, smooth-running organizations or goal setting. His major concerns dealt with matters of the heart.

Once more: We can’t ignore leadership and organizational issues. We must wisely steward our resources. They do take time, and they do require our attention. And they will frustrate us. But we must put those matters in their proper place.” –Charles Stone, from the book
