The Leadership Labyrinth: Negotiating the Paradoxes of Ministry

by Judson Edwards

The Leadership Negotiating the Paradoxes of Ministry by noted pastor and author Judson Edwards is an original and wholly unorthodox book on what it takes to be a pastor in the 21st century. It offers no simple answers, gimmicks, or church growth suggestions. Instead, Edwards, who has been a pastor for over thirty years, says that ministry is paradoxical, irrational and fun! He explores more than twenty paradoxes that every pastor needs to understand. If you’ve grown tired of “self-help” books for pastors, and if you’re skeptical of “techniques” for being an effective leader, this book is for you. It will jar you out of conventional thinking about church leadership and make you glad again to be a pastor.

Good reminders and reframes. Edwards has a very winsome style. The chapters are very short and easily read.
