What Every Pastor Should Know

What Every Pastor Should Know: 101 Indispensable Rules of Thumb for Leading Your Church
By Gary L. McIntosh and Charles Arn (Baker Books)
A 2014 OUTREACH RESOURCE OF THE YEAR

This is one of the most practical and useful books I’ve ever read from two of Christianity’s long-standing giants. It’s so good that I wish I had written it. I dog-eared so many pages I soon realized it would have been simpler to dog-ear the less important ones. What makes this book so valuable is that it covers the waterfront of ministry. I can’t think of any important principle for growing a church that is left out of this book. It is also useful for any theological persuasion. Keep this book on your desk and refer to it before taking any ministry step. It’s that good! —Bill Easum, from the March/April 2014 issue of Outreach magazine
