Publisher's Synopsis
Pastor, are you in senior leadership transition now...or will you be transitioning in ten to twenty years from now? Senior leadership transitions in the church are not only possible but potentially more successful once a paradigm of mutual honor is established between the predecessor and successor. Join us in this book about successful pastoral transition understanding: - the need for an atmosphere of honor. - the importance of emotional intelligence. - the primacy of clear, continual, and caring communication - the priority of vision, and much more.... "A typical millennial pastor responded to his aging ministry father, 'I need your shoulders and you need my eyes.' In this powerful book, both parties are taught to honor. I have seen nothing better on this important, critical subject for the worldwide church than this book." -Larry Stockstill, Pastor and Church Planter "This book marks out the problem principles of generational transfer and the practicalities of what every leader must know to make it happen." -Bishop Wellington Boone, Chief Prelate, Fellowship of International Churches "Without a doubt, Jerry David and Steve Stells have found great wisdom and are sharing some incredible truths of how to see to it that you build a legacy and empower the next generation." -Pastor Steve Kelly, Senior Pastor of Wave Church "Henry Ford said, 'Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably why so few engage in it.' David, Stells, and Servello shattered the notion set forth by Henry Ford. A must read for denominational leaders to help guide those for whom this book was written." -Dan Hicks, Sr. Associate Pastor, The Church on the Way
