At any given time there are thousands of churches seeking a lead pastor. What should local congregations focus on to find a new shepherd? Chris Brauns believes to find a great preacher the search must focus on God's Word.

This book is a must have resource for search committees and church leaders addressing the needs of churches in the transition of pastoral leadership. It assists by approaching their responsibilities in a biblical way and providing critical help in key practical matters. From the initial formation of a search committee to the final terms of agreement with the new pastor, Brauns shows you how to "major on the majors" and away from subjective approaches of evaluating candidates and their sermons.
