Intentional Ministry in a Not-so-Mega Church: Becoming a Missional Community is now available for purchase on the resource page. This book explores how a small church can transform from a maintenance-minded church to a missional church. This book will be a tremendous tool for both pastors and lay leaders of smaller churches. I also have a workshop on this subject that I can lead in your church or association. Contact me for more information about the workshop.

A Blog for Bivocational Ministers Now Available
|
|
I would like to invite you to join the bivocational community that exists on a blog for bivocational ministers I recently started at http://bivocationalministry.blogspot.com. We have readers from across the United States as well as several countries overseas. Although we have a number of readers, we need more people to share their thoughts to the various articles on the blog. I think this can be an excellent opportunity for us to learn from one another.

Contract Signed For Another Book
This past week I signed a contract with Beacon Hill Press for my sixth book. The working title of this book is Pressure Points: Easing the Stresses of Ministry. Ministry comes with a number of pressures that we can't always avoid, but there are ways to help manage them so they do not create so much pressure. This book examines a number of such pressures such as family pressures, time pressures, leadership pressures, relationship pressures, and many others. I believe this book will be very helpful to every person in ministry. The publisher has not said when this book will be released, but as always I'll let you know.
Outlook Magazine
Earlier this week I was interviewed for an article soon to be published by Outlook Magazine. The article will examine small churches and bivocational ministry. Be on the lookout for this publication.
