EVERY CHURCH HAVING TROUBLE WITH ITS PASTOR SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!

Does it seem to you that ministers just don't say in pastorates as log as they used to? While some would assert that forced pastoral exist are on the rise, author John Gilmore believes that pastoral exist are more than a current trend-they are a historical phenomenon.

Pastoral Politics addresses the many issues related to why pastor move from one church to another. No other book on the market has taken the trouble to delve into church history and personal testimonies to find those forgotten cases of famous and lesser-known pushed-out pastors-to see what went wrong and why.

EVERY PASTOR WHO HAS FELT NUDGE TO LEAVE Q CURCH SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!

Dr. Gilmore deals with thorny subjects concerning when ministers should leave and when"principled-protest resignations" are necessary. A key feature of Pastoral Politics is its ability to see good and genuine humor in grueling experiences.

Pastoral Politics is not a grudge-book, nor is it a payback book for current and past mistreatment. The book provides the church board and the pastor valuable insights-theologically, psychologically and procedurally-enabling pastors and members to be more flexible and charitable. The book is necessary reading for church board members, seminary students and every pastor who has and could face the prospects of moving on.
