The Pyramid and the Box: The Decision-Making Process in a Local New Testament Church
Ebook
Congregations, the members who attend them, and the leaders who serve them are too often wounded by the ill effects of bad decision-making. The Pyramid and the Box attempts to answer three primary questions about decision-making in the local church: What is decision-making? Who are the legitimate decision-makers? How do you execute effective decision-making?
"You are holding a great handbook on decision-making for every
local church. I commend Joel's insights into biblical
decision-making--here are some profound new insights into how it
should be done."
--Hans Finzel
author of The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make
"Decisions matter. They have consequences. Joel Tetreau does an
outstanding job in exploring this subject and giving us principles
and tools to work with. He draws from good scholarship and pastoral
experience."
--Matt Olson
Former President of Northland International University
"Joel's book is both needed and refreshing. It is needed because
church leadership needs clear exegetical direction, and it is
refreshing because Joel puts truth into usable shoe leather for
today's church."
--Daniel Davey
President and Professor of Biblical Exposition
Virginia Beach Theological Seminary.
"Dr. Tetreau's approach is theologically rich, exegetically sound,
biblically shaped, and eminently practical for both the
teaching-shepherd and the people of God in the body of Christ. I
have every confidence that his seminal work in this book will
benefit multiples of ministries."
--Doug McLachlan
former President of Central Baptist Theological Seminary
