Furr, authors of \u003ci\u003eLeading Congregational Change: A Practical Guide for the Transformational Journey\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing on their more than one hundred years of combined experience in a wide variety of church-related positions and a deep commitment to the biblical role of the local church, the authors present practical and concrete principles and concepts applicable across a broad spectrum of congregations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeading Congregational Change\u003c\/i\u003e presents a simple, memorable, and transferable framework along with principles of congregational transformation--such as God's call for transformation, the central role of spiritual vitality, the sequential nature of effective change, and the learning disciplines. Illustrations and action items offer adaptable suggestions and starting points for discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeading Congregational Change\u003c\/i\u003e is designed primarily for pastors and other congregational leaders who sense that things are not \"just fine\" in their churches and realize that deep change is needed. Judicatory staff and church consultants will also find the model for congregational transformation helpful. Individual ministries within a congregation, new congregations, and parachurch organizations can also use it to facilitate their own transformation. A church will grow when it understands and is genuinely committed to demonstrating and sharing the gospel in relevant ways. Growth will be manifested in the deeper commitment of its members. And more people in the community will hear God's call and become faithful disciples of Christ. \u003ci\u003eLeading Congregational Change\u003c\/i\u003e is a wise and faithful guide for the journey toward such transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Herrington, Mike Bonem, James H.
