The demands of congregational ministry are many, the rewards
sometimes seem few, and burnout becomes a real possibility. Small
wonder, then, that churches become stuck in a state of arrested
spiritual development. When the pastor is functioning in a survival
or maintenance mode, the church's vitality is often the first
casualty. Yet Wills's own experience demonstrates that churches can
turn around; the wind of the Spirit can be felt anew. This happens
when the congregation is infected by the vision of what God is
doing in their midst--a vision which the leaders, particularly the
pastor, must bring before them.
In Waking to God's Dream, Richard Wills shares the spiritual
disciplines and insights which he believes account for the
transformation of the congregation he serves from a large church in
decline to one that is growing and reaching out to its community in
a variety of creative ministries. Detailing the steps and
initiatives that led to this turnaround, Wills demonstrates how
personal commitment on the part of the congregation's leaders and
ministers have been the key to the work they have accomplished.
