Extraordinary Leaders in Extraordinary Times is an illuminating study of the most successful pastors of new churches in seven American mainline denominations. Four expert scholars - H. Stanley Wood, Carl S. Dudley, Darrell L. Guder, and Robert S. Hoyt - carefully analyze the results of a comprehensive survey of more than 700 founding pastors of new-church developments. Their insights draw a blueprint for successful ministry to the unchurched in the 21st century.
In 95 terse statements, author Ben Johnson sets the context of ministry, the needs of the typical congregation, and the state of the seminary, pastor, and denomination. Each thesis is then elaborated in three to four paragraphs, so pastors and church leaders can make relevant, informed decisions. Learn More
