The Complete Guide to Church Management by MS M. L. Donnellan

Proponents of the "we've-always-done-it-this-way" theory of church management will not need this book. But, pastors and lay leaders open to changes in the management of their churches will find in this handbook proven strategies to help them achieve their missions. "When I graduated from seminary, I had a pretty good handle on how to speak and lead, but not a clue as to how to manage our church. This book should fill that need quite well. I recommend it." Dr. Ben Bond, First Baptist Church, Clermont, FL "This is a complete and helpful guide for church administration for pastors and lay persons. I wish it were available when I began my ministry in 1964." Pastor J. Kenneth Laber, International Interim Pastor, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Marilyn L.
