| Description: |
Hope and help for pastors and congregations who are asking ‘what now?’ and ‘what’s next?’ We might be tempted to ‘sit down’ wherever we are, looking back at all that’s happened, shaking our heads in disbelief. But it’s time to stand up and to move forward. Will Willimon shows what that could look like. What do you think God is up to in the present moment? What should we stop doing and begin doing, responding to God’s call now? What are the biblical texts, stories from our past, and core Wesleyan convictions that might guide us from this point? As Willimon writes in his Introduction, “Let’s have a decent burial for yesterday’s good intentions and then partner with the Holy Spirit in creating tomorrow’s church.” This is a book to read and reflect on with colleagues, congregants, and Methodist friends. Chapters: By God’s grace, hope; Good grief; Hope for congregations; Methodists moving out in mission; The Body of Christ in motion; Methodist pastors as mission leaders; Best practices of transformative Methodist leaders; With Jesus in the storm; Hopeful together. |
