Successful Local Church Succession Jim Shaw

While change and succession may be inevitable, a successful transition is not. Some successions have not been successful, due to the successor being the wrong fit or there was not enough consideration given to the impact of change on the church. However a good succession is possible: where a credible successor is accepted by the church; where there is a clear leading from God that the time is right, where both the outgoing and incoming leader are honoured and where the change is managed well, enabling the church to embrace the change. This book provides a step by step process for those considering succession. Written by A pastor who has transitioned his church to his successor and who is happy with the results!
