Synopsis:

Glenn Wagner asserts that pastors have lost their sense of identity and calling as a shepherd. He calls for a return to the words Jesus himself spoke about his flock -- now who should care for it?

From the Back Cover: This book was born out of a passion for the church -- and for you, one of its pastors. If you struggle with burnout and disillusionment, if something within you keeps insisting, "This isn't what it's supposed to be about!" then Pastor Glenn Wagner offers a model for pastoring that can radically reshape how you relate to your congregation. Wagner guides you into new vision, new values, and a new way of pastoring that begins not with doing, but with seeing and being. "I believe the one problem underlying all the others is that we have moved both pastors and churches from a community model to a corporation model," says Wagner. "If we go back to the very beginning, back to the Lord's bedrock idea for his people, what do we find? We find shepherds and sheep." Escape from Church, Inc. offers hope to the weary and water to the thirsty. Find out for yourself, in both biblical and practical terms, how the model of the shepherd is best suited to growing a healthy, effective church -- and discover deep satisfaction and joy in your role as pastor.
