Tom Peters said, "Great leaders do not create followers; they create more leaders." For centuries, corporate sectors, educational systems and even governmental agencies have used succession planning t o ensure little t o n o interruption f o r business o r service. Unfortunately, many religious organizations and leaders fail to prepare for the sudden transition of a spiritual leader or pastor-leaving many congregants wandering like lost sheep in a n open pasture.
 
In this candid literary masterpiece, Dr. Jason M . Moseley helps pastoral leaders a n d parishioners alike uphold a standard of holiness, purity and dignity as they experience pastoral transition. Using a combination of historical, biblical and practical applications t o explain succession planning i n the religious sector, he argues how important it is f o r churches t o plan for the future-whether the pastor plans t o transition or not. Moseley offers strategic direction for any ministry that desires to experience a healthy pastoral transition while maintaining integrity and professionalism in the kingdom.
