Honorable Design: The Art and Order of Generational Transition

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.
