Over a period of years, Donald Smith probed, analyzed, interpreted, and reinterpreted data pertaining to what makes for effective ministry. Through all his research, one fact kept emerging: pastors who focus on empowering others are recognized as the most effective. This book distills the best information about cultivating an effective ministry from the voices of several hundred highly effective congregational leaders.
Donald P. Smith is retired as General Director of the Vocation Agency of the United Presbyterian Church (U.S.A). He is the author of Congregations Alive and Empowering Ministry (WJK).
