N2  - "In this book, church consultant Roy King offers advice for finding answers to questions like: If you could have a consultant visit your congregation or ministry organization, what questions might he or she ask?; Where would you start to unravel challenges and problems you are encountering?; What different perspectives might help you understand the group's history and present moment?. An examination of the life cycle theory and a developmental change model form the framework for diagnosing the health of churches and organizations.
