Next: Pastoral Succession That Works, Expanded and Updated

Release Date, April 21, 2020 | Packed with new research, new interviews, and practical solutions, this updated and expanded edition of Next: Pastoral Succession That Works will equip pastors, ministry teams, and Christian organizations to navigate leadership changes with wisdom and grace.

While there is no simple, one-size-fits-all solution to the puzzle of planning for a seamless succession, Next: Pastoral Succession That Works offers church leaders and pastors a guide to asking the right questions in order to plan for the future. William Vanderbloemen, founder of a leading pastoral search firm, and Warren Bird, an award-winning writer and researcher, share insider stories of succession failures and successes in dozens of churches, including some of the nation's most influential. The authors demystify successful pastoral succession and help you prepare for an even brighter future for your ministry. Includes a foreword by John Ortberg and an introduction by Eric Geiger and Kenton Beshore.
