Thom Rainer provides 23 key leadership issues for pastors in succinct chapters. In typical fashion, he often addresses those issues that are the "elephant in the room" in many churches. Whether the issue is preaching or dealing with church member conflict, any pastor or church staff members will have access to a plethora of topics. What is particularly helpful is that Rainer understands the perspective of those whose vocational ministry is the local church. These chapters, edited and prepared exclusively for this book, represent the best and most read articles on www.ThomRainer.com.
