Your Church in Rhythm: The Forgotten Dimensions of Seasons and Cycles

In his new book, Your Church in Rhythm, Bruce B. Miller debunks the idea of balancebasically trying to have it all, all the time. Most churches and their pastors try to do everything at once and feel guilty if any one aspect (worship, ministries, outreach, etc.) is neglected. Instead, Miller proposes replacing the exhausting concept of balance with the idea of rhythm: churches, like people, need to give attention to different programs and ministries at different times, by attending to their seasons and cycles. Influential in the formation and promotion of Church-Based training, Miller uses his newest book to propose an innovative new approach that church leaders and members can harness to understand where they are in the LifeCycle of their church, focus on what matters most, and avoid burnout.
