Synopsis "About My Father's Business: Professional Ministry For Kingdom Leaders"
IN today's modern church scene, the average ministry lasts approximately three-and-a-half years. This means an overwhelming number of ministries start out on a certain course and wind up quickly off that course within a short period of time. Many others find themselves in the quandary of having to reinvent themselves every twelve to twenty-four months. Why is this? The modern church likes to talk about getting a vision and having a vision, but discussion on how to manifest that vision is notably absent from the discussion. With a lack of training, business preparation, and equipping to prepare for the vision, the vision dies not far from where it starts. In About My Father's Business: Professional Ministry For Kingdom Leaders, Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino ends the cycles of modern ministry failure and disappointment. By approaching ministry as Kingdom business, Dr. Marino provides essential business and presentation skills necessary for successful ministry operation. Originally written for an Apostolic University business course, Dr. Marino shares powerful and timely insights into ministry business on topics such as 501(c)(3) federal non-profit status, preparing business packages, budgeting, necessary business skills, business arrangements, education and study, presentation, ministry order, interfaith etiquette, and more. All combine together to present the essential "must-have" reference book for Kingdom business and ministry success today.
