Book Description
Today's pastor has to do more than just preach, teach and visit hospitals and nursing homes. In today's church environment, pastors must have organizational skills. They must know something about money and finances. They must be able to have an articulate conversation with the banker concerning their vision for church growth and expansion. They must understand the many pitfalls of lack of appropriate human resource management involving both paid and volunteer staff. Today's successful pastors understand the importance of post-pulpit activity. In other words, what happens Monday through Friday is just as important as what happens on Sunday. By reading this book, you will be able to begin the process of becoming the Pastor CEO that today's church is requiring. In this book, I share some of my personal triumphs and tragedies along this pastoral walk, in hopes that you will be able to gain some insight from them. While this book can never replace formal and ongoing training, I am sure that you will benefit from taking the time to read and study this manuscript.

Book Description
With an open, honest, and conversational style, a minister who also manages and a manager who also ministers share insights they've gained through failures, successes, and struggles in their personal and professional journeys. From crises in the family business to existential struggles in the face of recurring cancer, what they show us is this: the heart and soul of leadership is found in following: following your call, following others' input, following your failures, following change, and even following the unknown. If you seek wisdom for your journey, if you seek a life of deep dedication and fulfillment, this book is for you.

Book Description
The emergence of the pastor Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position in churches today has become widely acceptable in Mega and Meta churches. Recent studies have not explored this issue. David Fisher acknowledges that in the 21st century, being a pastor presents major challenges because it leads to professional and personal identity crisis resulting from secular and ecclesial challenges. Studies have supported the idea that there is the need for church leaders to adopt the secular models of leadership and several noted authors have shown that churches today have become like other organizations that have to market their products. This is a problematic interpretation because leadership in modern churches has gone beyond the biblical and theological definitions of becoming shepherds of their flock and servants of God. In the search for an effective pastoral leadership role, this paper will explore the contemporary definition of pastoral leadership and compare it with what the scriptures say concerning the elders and servants of God assigned the duty of being shepherds of their flock.

Book Description
Of all the titles which have been minted for the envoys of the Son of God, that of "shepherd" is the most popular, the most beautiful, and the most ample. Bishop, presbyter, preacher, priest, clergyman, rector, parson, minister, all of these have been long, and are still, in use, but not one of them is so satisfying or sufficient as "shepherd."--Page 1.

Book Description
Ministry burnout is not inevitable! Why do so many pastors quit the ministry? Of those who don't quit, why do so many want to quit? Could it be that burnout results from a disconnect between their sense of calling to the ministry and their actual job description in the local church? Davis never doubted his call to preaching and teaching, but admits a disdain for the administrative side of being the C.E.O. of a local church. That dichotomy was a powerful conflict for him-until God reconciled the two in his heart. This book is for every pastor who struggles to reconcile ministry with administration. The pastoral calling centers on the biblical mandate to teach and preach, but there are other responsibilities that must also be carried out. This book brings perspective to these sometimes conflicting roles-something they didn't teach you in seminary. "Pastor C.E.O." will help turn the drudgery of certain pastoral duties to joy. When you grasp the principles in this book, your fulfillment as a pastor will be realized and the effectiveness of your ministry will multiply exponentially! Dr. Freddy Davis brings over 25 years of varied ministry to the pastoral leadership table. He spent 16 years as a missionary in Japan and Latvia, serving as a pastor, church planter, seminary teacher, radio host, and church growth consultant. In the States he's worked as a bi-vocational church planter and senior pastor. He's currently a senior pastor, seminar speaker, and president of MarketFaith Ministries. He received his MDiv and DMin from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He lives in Tallahassee, FL with his wife Deborah.

Book Description
Successful leaders today don't dictate; they invite. They don't dismiss; they welcome. They don't neglect; they care. Now more than ever we must pay attention to the soft side of leadership if we want hard results. As leaders--from parents to CEOs--we must learn gracious leadership to truly, positively, change our spheres of influence. In this passionate, powerful book, pastor and leadership mentor Terry Smith fleshes out five vital principles you need to become a hospitable leader. He shows that this type of leadership is not superficial niceness or allowing people to do whatever they want. Hospitable leadership is result-oriented because it's motivated by genuine love. It's how you create environments where people and dreams can thrive, where vision turns to action, and where great things happen regularly. Here is everything you need to become the type of leader people want to follow.
