The Smart Ministry

By Brennan Farrell

"As both a Christian and a businessman that has led small, medium, and large organizations, I have lived at the intersection of business and ministry my whole career. While much has been written about applying spiritual and scriptural truth to activity in business, less has been said about applying successful business knowledge to the work of operating a ministry. Brennan serves up some of the best known and widely used business principles and demonstrates that "The Lord's Work" is, after all stillwork, and it can benefit from the lessons of any successful enterprise.The Smart Ministrycontains engaging examples and is sure to be a solid, long-term resource for those serving in Christian ministries." Dan Doster Executive - Entrepreneur - Consultant - Author -Relationships Matter, A Practical Business Guide "Because most Christian leaders lead instinctively and intuitively, they do not necessarily have a defined approach to leadership. With limited business training and experience, we have learned in the laboratory of life through trial and error, which leads to mistakes and costs that could be avoided through practical guidance. That's why Brennan's approach from the business and entrepreneurial world is so helpful and timely. The principles of his book can help all of us have a'smarter ministry'for God's glory and the extension of His Kingdom locally and globally." Dr. J.L. Williams Professor - Missionary - Kingdom Entrepreneur "Brennan has done a tremendous job of providing a concise, systematic approach to ministry development. He has taken what are sometimes difficult or ambiguous concepts and boils them down to clear, logical, biblically sound, steps to thrive. Any ministry would benefit by taking their team through this book to ensure they are aligned with the principles and insights ofThe Smart Ministry." Dr. Steve O.
