A Christianity Today survey identified the most common self-described leadership weaknesses to be in strategizing, visioning, and entrepreneurial skills. But there is a tension that exists between dreaming, vision-casting, and being able to actually pull it off.
What is from God, what is from our own imaginations, how do we recognize the difference, and then what do we do with it?
In Pastorpreneur , President and Pastor John Jackson equips pastors to employ businesslike strategic planning and innovation skills to enhance their congregational leadership. Jackson's practical strategies and grand vision will empower you to explore new methods for maximum impact on your church and community and become the church that you and God dreamed of. VIDEO

If you're thinking your way through developing a new church or being an agent for change in your present ministry, PastorPreneur is worth reading. John Jackson knows what he's talking about because he's lived it From the Foreword by John Maxwell
"Strategic thinker John Jackson pastors the church he started in 1998 and grew to more than 2,000 in less than five years. His philosophy of ministry involves five key strategies: getting the attention of the community, building strategic partnerships, hosting faith-building events, mobilizing every member, and multiplying your impact. For those who are hoping to revitalize a current ministry as well as church planters, this is a good book to add to your library." Pastor Rick Warren's Toolbox Review (2/18/04)

Dr. Samuel R. Chand
