He also knows the power such churches can have to change lives. In The Other Side of Pastoral ministry, he shows what makes a River Church flow--and invites pastors and church leaders to follow ten key 'currents' that can move their people to new places of faith and service. Brown reveals the crucial dynamics of - Building authority - Defining and communicating vision - Strengthening systems - Coaxing changes - Empowering people for ministry - Adjusting church culture - Positioning and unleashing resources - Maintaining identity - Understanding the times - Evaluating results.
