Reseña del editor:

Wil Jackson writes words of grace and mercy for us all, especially those who serve on a church staff. He offers the care of the Shepherd, lets us know of God's trust in us and leaves us with a vision that is centered on the church's harmony with God's plan. I would place Staff Talk in rare company: alongside Henri Nouwen's Bread for the Journey and Eugene Peterson's Living the Message. (from the Foreword)
Wallace H. Kirby
Author of Affirming The Ash Heap

Do you ever find yourself searching for an appropriate prayer or devotion to open a staff meeting with? If so, Staff Talk is a comprehensive resource you'll return to again and again. A year's worth of brief meditations, all uniquely suited for building a sense of community and trust among your personnel, are in this extraordinary volume. Wil Jackson draws on his extensive personal experience to share practical, effective insights in imaginative and engaging language. A wide variety of themes and topics are covered, including sections on building a covenant relationship, employing good management principles, and equipping laity for ministry within the body of believers. There's even material especially appropriate for retreat settings.

Developing a cohesive and mutually supportive professional and volunteer staff is a great challenge. Jackson's book offers hope and direction for those who lead.
