It’s been a while since I had any reason to provide an update on my next non-fiction book The Unintentional Interim: Ministry in Times of Transition. We’re finally getting close to the release, so now such updates and promotion will begin in earnest.

First, check out the cover above. Nice, right?

Next, we’re about a month away from the release, which is April 15th. You can use your tax refund to purchase it if the IRS still has any employees left to issue them at that point. You also don’t have to wait until then to order it, as it’s available for pre-order on all the usual places like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Cokesbury, and The Pilgrim Press.

Since it’s been a while since I last mentioned this book, you may have forgotten what it’s about. Here’s the brief synopsis:

In the rapidly changing modern church, every minister is an interim. 

Few pastors begin their ministry in a congregation believing it will be a short-term or transitional partnership. Yet in a rapidly changing church environment, every minister is an unintentional interim.

From author and judicatory leader for ministerial transitions, Jeffrey A. Nelson, comes a thoughtful engagement on modern ministry in the modern church. With discernment and support, ministers can be intentional throughout their pastorate—no matter how long or short their tenure may last.

I’ll have more to say about the book soon. Until then, reserve your copy, and thanks for reading.
