Attributes of a Successful Pastor David W Christine

In October 2020, the Cultural Research Center released a report stating that the church is experiencing a "post-Christian reformation" whereby Christianity is being redefined by secular ideology. Dr. Christine realized this trend in 2016 and provided an assessment of the problem as well as direction for its correction. The book was updated and re-released in 2019 and makes a great gift for any new pastor. If you are wondering how the church lost it's way and how to return to biblical standards, this book is for you. Based on the premise that the successful pastorate is one in which the pastor finds success in Christ rather than worldly standards; it seeks to identify systemic cultural issues which prevent the Holy Spirit from transforming lives. This book will challenge the reader to examine both what he believes and how he holds those beliefs to be true. Living in a post Christian world creates many challenges for the pastor; mainly the challenge of integrating one's faith into one's life. This book moves beyond the modern concepts of pastoral success to examine how pastors can return to a biblical standard of success in their life and ministry.
