What makes it possible for a church to reverse course from decline
or stagnation into longlasting vitality? How can a church immigrate
from a congealing present into a compelling future? What can a
congregation do to experience continuous, deep change rather than
just temporary, surface improvement? How does a person lead
redevelopment? The three authors of this book address these and
other questions by building on an eight-step framework for lasting
change developed by John P. Kotter, noted former professor of
organizational behavior at Harvard Business School. His work on
organizational change is heralded in the secular world as
foundational, and Smith, Sellon, and Grossman have found that his
findings hold true for congregations as well. Each chapter in this
book comprises three sections: mentor, companion and coach. The
mentor section discusses principles and concepts to be addressed in
each of the eight steps; the companion section gives readers a
sense of what leading change is actually like for a congregational
leader; and the coach section provides specific ways for leaders to
develop the unique change processes that will be effective in their
church. Foreword by Anthony G. Pappas. "The authors offer strong
spiritual grounding and wise counsel for personal and communal
transformation as they lead us through a highly effective process
of congregational transformation." -- Barbara B. Troxell "This book
does not offer us more exhausting busyness, but focuses on the very
heart of ministry in and through the congregation. If you yearn to
move beyond the status quo, dive into this refreshing book and
expect transformation." -- Julia Kuhn Wallace
