What readers say
What resonates with me the most in the book is that “Churches, like all other organizations, exist as an open system.” The relevance of the entire book rests upon this fact. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world as we once knew it. In this post-pandemic era, the church cannot do business as usual. Local churches who take such a closed system approach to ministry will cease to be relevant. In his book, Dr. King has translated relevant lessons learned from the pandemic into a resource to help church leaders and local churches provide more effective and relevant ministry in this significantly new environment.
The post-pandemic ministry challenge that the book helped me to identify was the importance of the proper management of the church’s most valuable resources—her people. Church leaders don’t just need help; they need the right kind of help, if the church is to accomplish her mission objectives amidst a changing external environment.
