Plenty of churches change for change's sake, and plenty never change at all. Either way, the question that matters is whether the way we do things honors God. Do Things Well: The Pursuit of Excellence by Warren Berkley and David Banning asks congregations to evaluate their work in light of God's will and make the changes Scripture actually calls for. How This Book Helps Novelty can pass for spirituality, and tradition can pass for faithfulness. Neither one tells a church whether its worship, teaching, and service are being done well, or whether they're being done the way God wants. This book gives elders, preachers, and members a biblical standard for that evaluation. It's practical as well as scriptural, calling God's people to do His work with the care and quality it deserves. What's Inside Thirteen chapters on bringing biblical excellence to the way a congregation works, worships, and serves. Paul Earnhart wrote that it "in practical as well as biblical terms calls on us" to show forth the excellencies of the One who called us (1 Peter 2:9). Format & Features A 123-page, 6 x 9 paperback. For a class or small group, it's also available as a spiral-bound workbook edition. Who It's For Elders, deacons, preachers, and members who want their congregation to serve God with excellence. It also works well for leadership training. Common Questions What is the difference between the book and the workbook edition?They have the same content.
