Book description
Is it possible for church leaders to use biblical and secular
leadership concepts in a way that keeps Christ-not the marketplace-at
the center of their mission? Drawing on biblical material and business
wisdom,
In Pursuit of Great AND Godly Leadership
explores the critical leadership decisions and practices that shape the
success of Christian organizations. These decisions are illustrated in
compelling interviews with over forty leaders of churches, universities,
denominational bodies, and international ministries. Mike Bonem
leverages his background as an MBA-trained manager and an experienced
church leader to bridge the gap between the analytical and structured
world of business and the faith-driven approach that is essential for
healthy churches.
Written to offer practical solutions for senior
pastors, executive pastors, key laypeople, and leaders of other
Christian entities, In Pursuit of Great AND Godly Leadership
clearly shows the ways that secular practices can be imported into
their organizations. Bonem addresses a variety of topics such as
planning, finances, personnel management, measurement, team dynamics,
and organizational change. In doing so, he points to the AND that
every spiritual organization should strive to achieve.
