Reviews
"""Dr. Michael Mauriello is a trusted wise guide to associate pastors seeking to understand their complex role in church ministry. Michael's research is fueled by his love for God and the desire to see pastors flourish. Associate Pastors: Ministry from the Middle is a must-read for Christian leaders.""--Deborah Colwill, PhD ""associate professor of educational and leadership studies, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"" (1/17/2022 12:00:00 AM) ""As Michael Mauriello points out, associate pastors must be secure in their own relationship with God and skilled in the art of facilitating ministry from 'the middle.' By thoughtfully synthesizing insights from current resources, the author presents six critical tasks that the associate pastor would be 'wise to adopt. This is a much-needed contribution to resources addressing the unique role of associate pastors--those who 'navigate complicated relationships as a pastoral practice.'""--Donald C. Guthrie, EdD ""Director of the PhD (educational studies) executive director of the Center for Transformational Churches, professor of educational ministries, the Jeanette L. Hsieh Chair of Educational Leadership, Trinity Evangelical Divin"" (1/17/2022 12:00:00 AM) ""Associate pastors remind me of someone assigned the middle seat between two men who will die early from heart disease on an airplane--the senior pastor on one side and the congregation on the other. It can be tough to get comfortable and get anything done. Dr. Michael Mauriello, who was once my Associate, has written a thoughtful and well-researched guide for associate pastors who want to understand the dynamics and strategic advantages of their role. He not only understands the position, but he can help pastors serve effectively from the middle seat.""--Lee Ecloy ""retired pastor, adjunct professor, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, columnist, PreachingToday.com"" (1/17/2022 12:00:00 AM)"
