Description
Seasoned pastor and seminary professor R. Robert Creech equips ministry leaders with practical tools to enhance their effectiveness by integrating family systems theory into church life and leadership. Drawing on Bowen Family Systems Theory, Creech outlines foundational principles, demonstrates their relevance to ministry, and bridges systems thinking with key aspects of congregational work—including preaching, pastoral care, leadership, spiritual growth, and biblical interpretation. Each chapter includes discussion questions for reflection, and five appendices provide additional insights into Bowen theory for further study.
