Review Quotes

"Every congregation will want to own The Congregational Leader Series recently published by Augsburg Fortress. This excellent, landmark series will help congregations, congregational leaders, and their pastors collaborate in moving forward in mission during this time of chaotic change within the Christian Church. The books are easy to read, interesting, and have practical tools that make them especially useful for church council study, committees, management teams, ministry teams, leadership teams, strategic planning groups, and for the congregation as a whole."
