Book Description

The author explains the basics of systems thinking and how congregations are like emotional systems.

Seven ways to promote health in congregations are discussed, focusing the response on: self, not others; strength, not weakness; process, not content; challenge, not comfort; integrity, not unity; systems, not symptoms; direction, not condition.
