Ammerman, Jackson W. Carroll, Carl S. Dudley, and William McKinney (Abingdon, 1999)<\/h2>\n\n<p>Only one chapter is actually about vision and the future. The rest of this handbook is for assessment of your congregation: socially, spiritually, and demographically. Plenty of handouts to test the membership, but you&#8217;ll have to decide for yourself what to do with the information.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">Moving Off the Map:<\/h2>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead2\">A Field Guide to Changing the Congregation \nby Tom Bandy (Abingdon, 1998)<\/h2>\n\n<p>Full of charts and self-tests, this is a guide to developing vision and congregational support for it. The first section offers 280 assessment questions. The chapters on stages in the process are practical. Bandy assumes a high level of congregational involvement.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">God&#8217;s Vision for your Church:<\/h2>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead2\">Find and Fulfill God&#8217;s Unique Purpose for Your Church \nby David Cannistraci (Regal, 1999)<\/h2>\n\n<p>Cannistraci makes the case for corporate spiritual gifts, offers eight &#8220;landmarks&#8221; for discovering a church&#8217;s gift, and peppers his recommendations with examples mostly from Pentecostal churches and movements.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead2\">Leading with Vision \ncompiled by Dale Galloway (Beacon Hill, 1999)<\/h2>\n\n<p>Galloway authored three of this book&#8217;s nine chapters. The rest are by stalwarts Maxie Dunnam, James Earl Massey, John Maxwell, and Elmer Towns.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">Effective Pastoring:<\/h2>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead2\">Giving Vision, Direction, and Care to Your Church \nby Bill Lawrence (Word, 1999)<\/h2>\n\n<p>A broad text on pastoral work. Three chapters address vision. Lawrence&#8217;s summary of the process is excellent, as is the chapter &#8220;Planning for Non-planners.&#8221; The pages on the Q-2 (second quadrant) board will help pastors whose leaders are mired in the urgent but unimportant stuff of ministry.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">Doing Church:<\/h2>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead2\">A Biblical Guide for Leading Ministries Through Change \nby Aubrey Malphurs (Kregel, 1999)<\/h2>\n\n<p>Malphurs is direct: preach on principles, not practices. He gives a framework for thinking through the issues raised by changing styles of worship and approaches to ministry. Malphurs won&#8217;t give you the answers, but he&#8217;ll tell you how he came to his and how to preach on them.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">Church Personality Matters:<\/h2>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead2\">How to Build Positive Patterns \nby Herb Miller (Chalice Press, 1999)<\/h2>\n\n<p>Miller doesn&#8217;t ask &#8220;What is our mission?&#8221; until half way through this book. After the usual chapters on history, setting, and size, Miller moves to the issue of personality&mdash;more specifically, personalities. Your church&#8217;s vision will be determined in part by the age and interests of the members and leaders. And that contributes to the corporate personality. The chapter on potholes to progress is practical.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">Visioneering:<\/h2>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead2\">God&#8217;s Blueprint for Developing and Maintaining Personal Vision \nby Andy Stanley (Multnomah, 1999)<\/h2>\n\n<p>The step before development of a church&#8217;s vision is the pastor&#8217;s personal vision&mdash;for himself. Stanley offers 20 building blocks and 20 blueprints (exercises) for their construction.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">Futuring Your Church:<\/h2>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead2\">Finding Your Vision and Making It Work \nby George B. Thompson, Jr. (United Church Press, 1999)<\/h2>\n\n<p>This slim volume is helpful in outlining the process. There are much longer and more detailed works, but this one is good for the newcomer who needs an overview. Note especially the chapters on things you can&#8217;t change&mdash;heritage and surrounding neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-article-copyright\">Copyright &copy; 2000 by the author or Christianity Today\/<em>Leadership Journal<\/em>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/le\/help\/permissionsprivacy\/permissions.html#answer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"copyright\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for reprint information on Leadership Journal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studying Congregations: A New Handbook edited by Nancy T.
