At any given time there are thousands of churches seeking a lead pastor.nbsp; While a great resume, anbsp;friendly smile and a memorable sermon will convince many, what shouldnbsp;local congregationsnbsp;focus on to find a new shepherd?nbsp; Chris Braunsnbsp;believes to find a great preacher the search must focus on God's Word and how the candidate relates to it and preaches from it.nbsp; This book is a must have resource for search committees and church leaders addressing the needs of churches in the transition of pastoral leadership.nbsp; It assistsnbsp;by approaching their responsibilities in a biblical way and providing critical help in key practical matters.nbsp; From the initial formation of a search committee to the finalnbsp;terms of agreement with the new pastor, Brauns shows you how to "major on the majors" and away from subjective approaches of evaluating candidates and their sermons.nbsp; Great also for pastors or pastoral students to know how to prepare, the book includes such practical tools as interview questions for candidates andnbsp;the top mistakes search committees make.
