Download or read book Developing Faithful Ministers written by Tim Ling and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing Faithful Ministers aims to support the work of all those involved in supervision and training relationships within the Church. The Church recognising its call to serve God and the nation seeks to equip and develop its ministers to face the challenge of ministry in a society at the threshold of Christendom that is in a mission context. It is a context where both the general public and the institutional church have significant expectations of those in ministry. Indeed, there is now an expectation of ‘demonstrable capability’ prior to being licensed to any form of permanent tenure. The demand for more professional, demonstrably capable, mission able and collaborative licensed ministers places particular weight on the efficacy of the initial training relationship. "Developing Faithful Ministers" seeks to support those who find themselves in these relationships by offering both models of good practice and sustained theological reflection on what these drivers mean for developing ministry.

Download or read book Redeeming the Time written by Gregory Tyree and published by . This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the key difficulties that Pastors face is time-management. The "tyranny of the urgent" clouds their judgment and eats away their time, leaving little time and energy to focus on the important (which is not always "urgent"). The application of the principles in this book will help the Pastor reclaim his time and better lead his church and family.I believe that poor time-management (I prefer to call it life-management) is a key obstacle to success and happiness in the ministry. In this book I tackle four major points: 1) reasons many pastors are poor time-managers; 2) some time wasters, that if identified and overcome can contribute to success; 3) a few tips for saving time; and 4) some time-management tools. The ultimate outcome of good time-management is more effective and enjoyable ministry.

This book, written by a pastor who has been full-time in the ministry for over 33 years, is seven tips that will help God's servant to be the optimal steward of the time that God has given.

Download or read book The Time of Your Life written by Robert L. Randall and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randall exposes mass market books that propose one-minute management techniques, that offer one-size-fits-all prescriptions, or that treat symptoms instead of causes. Instead, he presents a compelling case for living the time of your life by taking care of yourself. First, he shows that time management problems are actually caused by a fragmentation within a leader's personality, and not by having too many things to do. The loss of the self leads to a loss of direction or a loss of stability. Randall sets forth a useful chart for the levels of self/time managment that helps the leader place the self on any given day. One person might be living in "ambulatory" time. Another might be operating for "revealed" time. Randall teaches the leader how to do self-assessment. Then in separate chapters, he shows how self/time management will lead to more fulfilling and care-oriented preaching, more effective and wise church adminstration, and above all, the most helpful and healing pastoral care that a minister can offer.
