five years. This handbook helps both experienced and new pastors

analyze their congregation's system and then to lead leaders within
the congregation to affect positive change. Using imagery from
Alice in Wonderland to clarify various archetypal roles within the
church community, Harris provides concrete suggestions for
facilitating communication and dealing with difficult behaviors
within the congregation. He provides a coaching approach to
ministry, in which the pastor reframes issues and asks provocative
questions a powerful strategy to maximize a new pastor s chances
for success. Readers will find tools to help them uncover critical
information about their new congregation regarding: .congregational
norms, particularly regarding the office of pastor, conflict, and
holy objects; .their history and sense of God's call; .the true
leaders among the congregation; .mutual accountability."
