RECOMMENDED READING

Every so often a book comes along that speaks clearly about issues of leadership in the local church.  I want to introduce a book, which is authored by a practitioner and not a theorist.  The author is Dr. Paul Borden, his book is entitled "Hit the Bullseye".  Borden is Executive Minister of the American Baptists Churches of the West.  He has led that region of churches to make significant changes that have resulted in growing, vibrant churches.  He also is used as a consultant to many other church groups including the Church of God.  He has a ongoing relationship with Florida, and has consulted with the Ohio State Ministries.

In his book, "Hit the Bullseye", Paul shares two major metaphors in church culture that are ultimately destructive to effectiveness in ministry.  (more - December state newsletter-under CHAIRMAN NOTES)
