Like physical therapy after a major surgery, Sustaining the Heart of Your Church is designed to help your ministry navigate the recovery period that follows corporate healing. During the recovery period, your church will face tests that challenge you to respond in ways that reflect a new spiritual trajectory. This books aims to further your church's transition to a healthier, more fruitful ministry. Sustaining the Heart of Your Church:
- * Provides guidance for transforming the relational values of your church.
- * Prepares you for predictable threats to your church's new found health.
- * Provides group exercises for ministry leaders to shore up your church's corporate health.
- * Encourages personal growth in your church's leaders.
- * Explores how to hear from the Lord - as a body.
