Description
 
Leader Shifting can be glorious or gruesome, successful or fraught with mistakes that result in devastated lives. Success requires understanding basic relational and authority dynamics, then following well-thought out steps for a smooth succession.

This book will be most beneficial for small to medium-sized churches that have some freedom in how successors are chosen and especially for churches that recognize the five-fold ministry. However, all churches and church leaders should be planning for succession, and those plans should be activated as soon as possible.

About the Author:
After pastoring a church in the Northwest, Harold R. Eberle embarked on a worldwide traveling ministry. Over the course of 38 plus years of ministry, Dr. Eberle has helped build a dozen Bible colleges in other nations, authored more than 25 books, and distinguished himself internationally as a dynamic and well-informed teacher.
Currently, Dr. Eberle travels with Linda, his wife of 39 plus years, ministering at churches, Bible colleges, seminaries, and leadership conferences. They host a daily tv program directed toward Muslim-dominated areas of the world. They also make regular missionary trips into the associated countries.
