Review

In a thorough and careful manner, Radcliffe explores the variety of issues that impact the ministry of the associate pastor. The emphasis on harmony, balance, and functioning relationships permeates the content. The author draws on his own experience as an associate pastor to illustrate the concepts that he conveys. . . . The strength of the book is found in section three, Relationships. The multiple relationships with the senior pastor, other professional staff, boards and committees, and general church members are filled with insight and practical advice. The ability to maintain mutually-beneficial, supportive relationships in several arenas is no easy task.-- (06/03/2004)
