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 to ensure little to no interruption for business or 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 an open pasture.

In this candid literary masterpiece, Dr. Jason M. Moseley helps pastoral leaders and parishioners alike uphold a standard of holiness, purity and dignity as they experience pastoral transition. Using a combination of historical, biblical and practical applications to explain succession planning in the religious sector, he argues how important it is for churches to plan for the future-whether the pastor plans to 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.

• How to prepare the congregation for pastoral transition
• How to prepare outgoing leaders for transition
