· quick-reference guide
· easy-to-navigate Q&A format

No matter what your education, no amount of schooling can prepare a pastor for a so-called “typical” day of ministry. Pastors are teachers, counselors, evangelists, and cheerleaders. They are a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear. They’re CEOs and janitors. Sometimes all in a 24-hour period. And somewhere in the midst of all that, there’s a sermon to prepare.
Where is a busy pastor to turn for help when a new situation or problem arises? The Ministry Answer Book for Pastors is your quick-reference guide to (almost) everything you need to know to lead your church. Organized in an easy-to-navigate Q&A format, this must-have resource from trusted church consultant and author Gary L. McIntosh is destined to be your well-worn, dog-eared, go-to guide for when you run into an unforeseen or unfamiliar problem, including
- decision-making
- starting and leaving a ministry
- weddings, funerals, and hospital visitation
- outreach training
- budgeting
- working with a church board
- holding effective meetings
- recruiting and delegating
- staff development
- discipleship and much more
