Review 5 for Seven Practices of Effective Ministry - eBook
The Gospel. If you want to read this book to have an effective ministry then don't waste your time. Certainly if these 7 practices were used in the first two hundred years of the Church it would have stopped in its tracks. It is no different now. You can't mix humanistic philosophy and methodologies when building an effective Christ ministry, you simply need Gospel hardened preachers of God's Word to preach the Word in season and out. When you mix worldly culture in trying to spread the Gospel, such as these purpose driven church lite seeker 'pastor/authors' you have to ask if God is in it. These authors have joined with some of the most heretical 'so called pastors' of our day in the seeker movement. They don't preach the true Word of God and they simply insist you buy their latest books and spend thousands on their worthless programs while keeping you entertained as you sing your way down the broad path. I am amazed at the gullible people that continue to buy into this purpose driven church lite seeker material. If you are a Christian Church you have no need for humanistic methodologies, you simply need the Holy Spirit to guide you in your teaching. The book should be titled, 7 Failures of Todays Seeker Ministries.

Review 6 for Seven Practices of Effective Ministry - eBook
The information would be valuable for any organization. The problem is that the authors provide no Scriptural references or support for these principles. For a book that is titled "7 Practices of Effective Ministry" this is unacceptable.

Review 7 for Seven Practices of Effective Ministry - eBook
This is an excellent book to help you organize your sermon material faster, and better. It is a better and more personable preaching style, and when I switched over to this method, the difference was amazing. This freed me up so that the Holy Spirit could work through me better. It didn't change my material that much, it just made the presentation better.

Review 9 for Seven Practices of Effective Ministry - eBook
This is probably the most practical book I've ever read. It has a modern-day parable to help visualize the principles, which is as helpful as it is creative. One of the best things about this book is that it asks the right questions--and helps the reader to do the same. For anyone who's not at peace about the direction (or lack thereof!) of their ministry, this is the first resource I'd recommend. Our church is taking every ministry team through the book one chapter at a time. Another winner from North Point!
