What’s a local church to do when its pastor is retiring or has left? Finding a new pastor can be a long and difficult process. Transitions are common, but they can be hard on a congregation when many months, if not years, pass. What’s Best for the Body? addresses how local churches can prepare for pastoral transitions and then remain healthy during the process. This book also provides a different model for transitioning from one pastor to another that is more seamless and less stressful.
