"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. Informed by more than twenty years of consultations with groups of various sizes, from a variety of denominations, and from all stages of an organizational life span, this practical guidance will help you appraise your leadership setting and chart a course for your church or organization to not just survive, but to live well.
