They can go on forever with no resolution. Or they can rush along without consensus just to get through the agenda. What if there was another way? Church boards and other Christian leadership teams have long relied on models adapted from the business world. Ruth Haley Barton, president of the Transforming Center, helps teams transition to a much more suitable model--the spiritual community that discerns God's will together. In these pages you will discover personal and group practices that will lead you into a new way of experiencing community and listening to God together.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Ruth Haley Barton knows only too well that discerning God's will requires a personal commitment to transformation as well as an openness to engage in a group process. In <em>Pursuing God's Will Together, </em> she shows us in a systematic way how it's done. Every Christian leader will benefit from such a practical approach to such an ancient practice.</p>--Albert Haase, O.F.M., author of This Sacred Moment<br><br><p>This book needs a warning label: 'Content may be disruptive to your understanding of Christian life, leadership and community.' Ruth Haley Barton has provided every Christian with an invaluable resource for discerning and fulfilling the purposes of God. In a world where Christians and Christian leadership and communities have largely succumbed to secular processes for decision making, Barton brings a clear, challenging and compelling call for a radical alternative. This book is not the product of a 'theorist, ' but the mature distillation of Barton's own journey into a life hid with Christ in God for the sake of others. This is a must-read for every Christian leader and leadership group, and a primer for every Christian.</p>--M. Robert Mulholland Jr., professor emeritus, Asbury Theological Seminary, and author of Invitation to a Journey and The Deeper Journey<br>
