Good ministries fail. Churches, megachurches, parachurch
organizations, and whole denominations can find themselves in
crisis or decline even though they are doctrinally sound,
spiritually energetic, and divinely commissioned. Or sometimes they
plateau. Like the airliner that loses its engines at 35,000 feet,
the passengers may be unaware that anything is wrong. But the pilot
knows. Something needs to be done very soon, or the flight will
come to an unscheduled and unpleasant conclusion. Leaders need to
do more than just steer the ship. Though the waters may seem
smooth, they need to see the iceberg ahead shrouded in fog. When
they do, they need to reverse their engines and rescue their people
from calamity. Whether you are a pastor of a local church, a
mission's executive, a denominational leader, or a lay leader on a
church or parachurch board, this book was written for you. It does
not give you an easy three-step solution to your ministry's crisis
or decline. Instead, it will equip you with the tools you need to
assess your organization's health and determine the appropriate
steps needed to bring renewal and revival. Here's what people are
saying about Turnaround: Biblical. Relevant. Helpful. Dr. Dwight
Perry has given leaders everywhere a resource that delivers. Forged
from personal experience and filled with true stories, this book
provides a roadmap for turning around a ministry in trouble. A
valuable resource in any leader's library. Greg Thornton Sr. Vice
President, Media Moody Bible Institute Dr. Dwight Perry answers an
often asked question: Is the capacity to be a turnaround leader
innate, or can it be taught? Dr. Perry is not only a turnaround
leader himself - he is mentor and teacher for those who are willing
to learn. ... He builds his leadership model on the firm foundation
of biblical conviction and godly character, and then provides a
floor to ceiling structure of wise and practical insights. Clear,
concise and reproducible, his book covers the expansive terrain of
leading organizational change. Dr. Jerry Sheveland President and
CEO Converge Worldwide With 70-85% of churches in America that have
either plateaued or are in decline, Dr. Dwight Perry in his book,
Turnaround ... has a way of addressing the decline from an
organizational leadership perspective. Dr Perry has a unique way of
marrying good biblical exegesis with a profound practical
understanding and practical applications. ... A great book to the
body of Christ. Pastor Michael L. Henderson New Beginnings

experience, Turnaround, is filled with practical,
biblically-rooted, God-focused advice on taking your ministry from
struggling to significant. You'll be challenged to assess honestly,
face into weaknesses, build on strengths, and work under the
empowerment of the Holy Spirit to turn your ministry around.
Because Dr. Perry has done it, you know that you are getting not

trenches. Jay Barnes President Bethel University
