RECAPTURE YOUR PASSION FOR CARING OF SOULS Support growth in your church with an effective structure

(Basel, Switzerland, 10 February 2004)- Ferdinand J. Burger, published by iUniverse, Inc., the leading provider of publishing technology solutions for authors, announced today a provocative and innovative roadmap to church leaders and church management to take better care of their biggest asset - PEOPLE - with a basic infrastructure.

(PRWEB) March 7, 2004 --Growth in a church needs management.

Church leadership and management are challenged to take up their role as workers in a Kingdom not of this world with a basic structure and tools to care and manage its representation in this visible world. Church Management Basics offers leadership of churches, missions and similar non-profit organizations a new look at the way they manage their day-to-day activities.

Believing that a church or mission should be managed according to a structured module based on Biblical principles, Church Management Basics provides leadership and management with some basic ideas to help the reader become more accountable and responsible in their work. Not only are general topics, such as Finance, Administration and Human Resources discussed, but they are also examined more fully where appropriate.

Management is not just a business word.

The Church is not a business, but her assets need proper care. My belief is that The Church should be a leader when it comes to looking after what is dear to its existence. Churches, missions and other similar organizations are the representation of The Kingdom of God here on earth, and as they cannot operate without a basic structure in this world, management of the structure and those involved is not something to take for granted.

Church Management Basics focuses on Biblical principles and values to form part of the foundation of this structure and challenges leadership to develop the suggested building blocks to meet the needs of the local community in an innovative way.

Leadership and Management require effective tools.

Hands-on examples are used to illustrate the application of solutions offered, and further tools and samples add to the innovative ingredients to make Church Management Basics a must read for all church leaders, workers in missions and employees of other non-profit organizations.
