Giving Vision, Direction, and Care to Your Church
By Bill Lawrence | Publisher: Thomas Nelson
About the book
\"A great deal of confusion exists today as to what pastors are to be,\" Lawrence writes. \"Are they chaplains, CEO's, preachers, managers, or counselors? Paul gave us the answer long ago: They are to be equippers, disciple-makers.\" Just as the great artist Michelangelo took a chipped and flawed piece of marble and transformed it into a masterful sculpture of David, so does a pastor with his flock. \"This is pastoring\", writes Lawrence, \"serving as sculptors of souls.\"
