Before long, many of our Christian congregations will be perceived as cuddly, sentimental creatures who are studied primarily as skeletons in the halls of a museum. The church is in danger of becoming a dinosaur, according to church consultant and provocative author, William Easum. We live in a secular or unchurched world, but the church continues to develop ministries as if the church were in charge of a churched society.If we continuously fail to prepare our message for an anti-Christian world, we will disappear like the dinosaurs. Easum argues that while the substance of the gospel will not be changed as we make this shift, we must change the way that we package and proclaim the substance of the gospel.
DANCING WITH DINOSAURS is for persons who are beginning to realize that much of their activity no longer works, and that what they have been taught about ministry no longer makes sense.

What Ministers Cant Learn In Seminary
$25.99In 1985, What They Don’t Teach at Harvard Business School became a blockbuster bestseller because it offered proven-effective, “school of hard knocks” advice–not just classroom theories–to business people.
Now, What Ministers Can’t Learn in Seminary does the same thing for beginning and experienced pastors and seminarians. In bright, optimistic, good-humored language, R. Robert Cueni takes us step-by-step through the predictable crises of early ministry. He discusses the realities of congregational life, the difference between normal tensions and critical problems, and dozens of other problem areas. He also shows how to find a way through the maze of expectations held by church members.
What Ministers Can’t Learn in Seminary is distilled wisdom at its very best, offered with vigor and compassion–realistic about the church and highly affirmative of ministry.
