Innovo Publishing Releases Pastoral Ministry for the Next Generation
Innovo Publishing LLC released a new Christian title, Pastoral Ministry for the Next Generation, written by Jere L. Phillips. Pastoral Ministry for the Next Generation integrates contemporary issues and biblical principles. Pastors of all ages will find details for the “how to’s” of nearly every aspect of church ministry. Pastoral ministry is timeless. Certain aspects of this life and work endure through all generations until the Lord returns. Yet, the milieu of ministry constantly changes. People expect their ministers to baptize them, marry them, and bury them, but marriage in today’s culture involves questions for next-generation ministers that their grandfathers never imagined. Next-Gen ministry requires thoughtful processing of biblical foundations and contemporary applications. Dr. Jere Phillips’ extensive experience provides a biblically based, future-focused approach. This book was written for young pastors but can help ministers of any generation, especially new pastors.
