Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book addresses a major need."-Christian Standard Reports from churches indicate that poor interpersonal relationships are the primary reasons for minister failure. Though they are taught the important skills of how to interpret the Bible, how to discern and articulate doctrine, how to direct worship services, and more, ministers are eventually faced with a congregation. While they may frequently call on some skills and others not at all, interpersonal relationship skills are vital to any ministry. This book is designed to aid ministers, seminary students, denominational leaders, and church members nurture their relationships with one another and with God, and to help the understanding of oneself and of others that is part of the minister's task. These essays, from the faculty of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, focus on four areas of concern: relationship with oneself, with family, in the church, and in the community. Above all, these lessons are devised to aid in nurturing a secure setting for effectiveness in the ministry and in service to God.

Book excerpt: Communicating: A Pastor's Job is a practical look at the communication problems facing pastors everyday...written for pastors by a retired pastor & communication professor. The fifteen chapters of this two-part book address such subjects as listening, defensiveness, non-verbal behavior, public-speaking, interpersonal-communication, conflict-management, perception, self-disclosure & leadership. The author applies these concepts to common pastoral situations, including preaching, committee-meetings & counseling, as well as a pastor's informal conversations. He guides the reader to a clearer understanding of the communicating process & jettisons many of the myths that have surrounded communication over the years. The reader will also find in this work an uncommon twist to the subject of communication ethics. The fifteen chapters are divided into two parts (or volumes): Basics & Situations. Each subject in the book is introduced by quoted experiences & events from the Bible. This is an excellent source for sermon illustrations, especially on relationships. Also worthwhile reading for anyone interested in the subjects of religion, church, lay-ministry, clergy-training, communication-theory, language-usage, homiletics, decision-making, chairing a meeting, power & control, gender communication & family relationships. Included: a helpful bibliography for further exploration into specific areas of communication.
