Peter Drucker has said that pastoring a large church is one of the three most difficult jobs in America today. Pastors are expected to be biblical scholars, business administrators, counselors, public speakers, fund-raisers, visionaries, plus have a personal life that is consistent with the values of the church. It is little surprise that thousands of church leaders wonder why they ever accepted leadership responsibilities and many quit, while potential future leaders are opting out for other professions. As a nationally recognized authority on church and para-church leadership, Anderson brings the help and hope that leaders need in today`s complex world. Defining the changes required for twenty-first century leadership to work and the complex issues to be faced helps the journey of transitions. In a catalog culture of multiple options, Christian leadership is even more perplexing. Anderson`s counsel is sound, practical, and full of hope. This is a must-have book for pastors, para-church and lay leadership, and any concerned for the future of their church or organization.
