Canoeing the Mountains

In this practical guidebook, Tod Bolsinger relies on the metaphor of Lewis and Clark to reveal how you can lead your congregation through the new landscape we've found ourselves in. Like Lewis and Clark-who had to adapt once they found the Rocky Mountains instead of a waterway to the Pacific Ocean-you too may feel like you are leading in a cultural context that you were not expecting. You may even feel like your training holds you back more often than it carries you along. Drawing from his extensive experience as a pastor and a consultant, Bolsinger brings decades of expertise in guiding churches and organizations through uncharted territory. He offers a combination of illuminating insights and practical tools to reimagine what effective leadership looks like in our rapidly changing world. If you're going to scale the mountains of ministry, you'll need to leave behind the canoes and find new navigational tools. Reading this book will set you on the right course toward leading with conf idence and courage.
