<description><![CDATA[Also, consider the new book by Gary McIntosh: Here Today, There Tomorrow:
Church leaders are frustrated! Larger
churches are bogged down by the weight of
their own organizations, and smaller churches
struggle with an inability to "get things
moving." Medium-sized churches tend to get
tangled up in their programming. Pastors and
church leaders across the country are in the
same plight. As a result, their churches
stagnate. Click on link for summary of new book]]></description>
