The main idea of this practical and insitful book is simply this--the key to extended, fruitful, and enjoyable pastor-church relationship is an expanded knowledge of the pastor by the church. Knowin his personality, his responsibilities, and even his struggles, can result in an enhanced ministry, maturing believers, and a building up of the church. As Dr. Welch writes, My personal passion is for our local churches. They are the Lord's instruments for impacting the world. . . . Wise is the church that endeavors to know its pastor and to understand something of the scope of his ministry.
