Shepherding the Church: Effective Spiritual Leadership in a Changing Culture

This is a cutting edge book that should be read by all ministers. It deals with the culture trends in a biblical and concise manner. Very helpful.

Great Book for new Pastors.

Great book by Joe Stowell. I am a new pastor, and I greatly appreciate his insight, his perspective, and his words of wisdom. 5 stars.

Outstanding! A Must Read for All Pastors!

I began reading this book on shepherding rather skeptically, thinking it would denounce church growth concepts and advocate a return to ineffective methodologies of a by-gone era. Instead, what I found was a very helpful, relevant and insightful work that offers practical tips for the 21st century pastor. Stowell divides his book into four sections: perspective, personhood, proclamation and proficiency.When I first entered the pastoral ministry 20 years ago, I was given the classic book "Lectures to My Students" by Charles Spurgeon. I've read many titles in that time period, and hadn't found another one in its league until I read this one by Stowell. Buy it, read it, and see for yourself!
