Book Description
This one-volume guide to a healthy congregation combines the wisdom of a rabbi with the expertise of an organizational development consultant to demonstrate the power of positive relationships and show how to avoid some of the common traps that can lead to serious conflict. Using the life of the synagogue as its central illustration, this book gives vital lessons for congregations of any faith on how to be a healthy community of believers. Leaders and congregants alike are shown how to incorporate all their gifts for the creation and support of a healthy faith community. Synagogue life is considered through case studies—struggles over what to do with an endowment fund, a social action committee that no one joins, changing a worship service time, clergy transitions—which are examined for what they reveal about the struggles of congregations and their leaders to create healthy institutions. Each chapter integrates organizational theory and faith values in the pursuit of a deeper understanding of synagogue life. For non-Jewish congregations, the book offers rich insights into Hebrew texts and culture and the common elements between synagogue and church life. This House We Build enables both clergy and members to learn more deeply about creating and sustaining communities of faith in the course of inevitable transitions and everyday challenges.

Book Description
Just as the construction of a house requires much thought, preparation, and personal effort, so too does the progression of our spiritual life. A house cannot be built on a foundation that has poor footings. If this happens it will contribute to an improper or substandard base that cannot maintain what is built on top of it. Solomon writes, "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builder's labor in vain..." (Psalms 127:1 NIV). This book, "Construction, Obstruction, or Destruction" is the first volume in a series on the topic of the Lord constructing the perfect house-that is, completing us just the way that He intended us to be. Like building a house, we must follow Him appropriately as He guides us. True spiritual understanding will always manifest itself through application that honors Christ and gives glory to God. Dr. Rock D Moore, author, pastor, husband, and father has an Ed.D. in Human Services/Counseling and has served in various ministerial and leadership roles for over 25 years. Rock and his wife, Michelle, have been married ten years, and have one daughter, Faith. He is currently the pastor of a new church plant in Southern California.
