How to Survive and Thrive as a Church Leader by Reverend Nick Cuthbert

In the Christian church, particularly in the West, we face a crisis of leadership. This is mainly a problem of low morale. Recent statistics reveal that large numbers are weary, depressed, want to give up and feel crushed by the job. Pastors have fallen into the busy trap, which flatters their vanity but prevents them from focusing on prayer and preaching. Allowing others to dictate your diary leads to burnout: you cannot satisfy all demands. The purpose of this book is to underline survial principles. It offers 21 short chapters, each focusing on a single aspect such as 'Prioritising', 'Avoiding the sex trap', 'Mentoring younger leaders', 'Let the Godhead do the work', 'Putting family first', 'Avoiding Busyness'.
Nick Cuthbert is Senior Pastor of Riverside Church in Birmingham, and a founder member of RUN (Reaching the Unchurched Network).
