The Use of the Rod and Staff: A Neglected Aspect of Shepherding (Ministry Monographs for Modern Times)

Why are there so many problems in the church today? How is it that people constantly roam from congregation to congregation? What is behind the many splits in churches --- and what can be done about them? Is this a modern phenomenon or one limited to the American scene? These questions are not only explored in this book, but thoroughly biblical answers are given to them. The case is made for practical care and discipleship in the local church. The place of leadership is examined biblically. Shepherdly concerns are set forth to enable those who are in charge of a flock of God's sheep to shepherd them as the Chief Shepherd desires. This is a book for sheep and shepherds alike.
