Spirituality and Faith Development
"In this day when we are supposed to protect our boundaries, John Ackerman crosses the boundaries of personal growth and systems theory. In this wise, gentle, and insightful book, Ackerman weaves spiritual development, organizational management, and systems theory into a seamless whole. His is the first book I have read that moves 'encouraging the development of love in management,' beyond admonishing the leadership to be loving in their approach. He describes integrating the mission of the church with the spiritual development of members and the functioning of organization. He spells out step-by-step plans for helping people on their spiritual journey while developing programming for a congregation genuinely related to the spiritual growth of members. He also integrates the quest for understanding the will of God into lay and pastoral leadership of the transformation of the organization (not of persons only). I first read this interesting book in one gulp, then went back to feast again, this time savoring its flavors and nuances." Speed B. Fleas, Senior Consultant, The Alban Institute |
