Book Description
Pastoral ministry is challenging work, especially when a pastor ignores the church's "congregational culture" when seeking to minister to church members or implement changes. Just as a pastor studies to interpret the Scriptures in order to understand and preach the Bible, he or she must interpret the local church culture to better understand and move it toward accomplishing its mission and vision. In Look Before You Lead, trusted church leadership expert Aubrey Malphurs shows pastors how to read their church's unique local culture, how to change or revitalize it, and even how to combine two cultures when one church adopts another. This unique resource approaches leadership and discernment from a solid, biblical perspective and includes a number of helpful appendixes, such as a behavior, belief, and a values audit, that are key to reading and understanding the culture.

Book Description
For decades, my friend Leo Endel has been helping churches to plan well. Now, through Where Do We Go from Here? you can benefit from his years of wisdom and experience! Walk through this book with your team, and you and your church will be better for it! -Ed Stetzer, Wheaton CollegeDoes your church know where it needs to be a few years down the road? Does it have a plan to get there? Is it headed in the right direction? Most would have to answer "no" to at least one of those questions, if not all three. In his brief (66-page) book, "Where Do We Go from Here?" Leo Endel draws from his decades of experience as a pastor and denominational leader to offer a simple yet comprehensive guide for strategic planning in the smaller church. These are not theories waiting to be tested, but a proven plan that can be used by any church willing to seek God's best for their congregation and community. -David Williams, Associational Missions Strategist, Trinity River Baptist Association, Liberty, TexasI found "Where Do We Go from Here?" to be both timely and timeless. Once I read it, I immediately recommended it to one of our pastors. It is timeless because it is principle and process based. Its value is enhanced because it has been tried and tested in multiple contexts. Too much is published today that is theoretical, unproven, or reflective of a single church's experience. And because it lays out a simple template for strategic planning it can be easily transferred into almost any church setting. -Mark Elliott, Director of Missions, Heartland Baptist Network, Omaha, NebraskaFor 37 years of pastoral experience I have tried many strategies to do the work of the church. Only to find myself overworked and understaffed. In his book, Where Do We Go from Here? Brother Leo gives us a simple yet comprehensive strategic plan for both small or large church. Where do we go from here! It is a question that every pastor or leader has had to ponder over in their heart. Leo writes out of the heart and experiences of a seasoned pastor and godly leader. He writes, "The real power of the church is God releasing his presence, his power and his plan in US for that to happen we must pray." I prayerfully recommend this comprehensive guide for strategic planning for any church. Roy Hopgood Jr. Mount Horeb Baptist Church Milwaukee, Wisconsin Senior pastor.I just finished reading, Where Do We Go from Here? It is terrific, inspirational, personal, and practical. I hope hundreds of pastors and churches read it and use it! Dr. Bill Tinsley, retired denominational leader, church planter, author of nine books and of Reflections, a weekly faith column with over 145,000 views worldwide.
