Listening Ministry

"Listening Ministry invites church leaders (professional and non-professional) to look at leadership in the church in a completely different way. It is also a work that calls forth new learning through the reflection questions provided at the end of each chapter. The book helps readers rethink the dynamics of ministry from the perspective of listening, focusing on both its individual and communal dimensions." "Hedahl's work presents a blend of theological reflection on listening, new and tested research on listening as it relates to church leadership, and suggested forms of listening education and skills assessment in a continual effort to locate and understand listening as the heart of effective and faithful ministry."--BOOK JACKET.
