Joe H. Cothen has revised Equipped for Good Work with the help of his friend Jerry N. Barlow. Having lived the life of a pastor for more than forty years, Cothen brings firsthand experience to the discussion table with each of his topics. He addresses all aspects of building and working in a church, from its identity to its budget, and relations both with the staff and public. Along with his advice he offers support and encouragement for other members of the church, but he also reaches to the public with the messages of motivation behind the instruction.

In this new edition, the advice has been updated to assist with new problems brought on by the twenty-first century. The challenges in his profession are different but the lessons remain the same. Expanded indexes and reading lists add to this practical handbook that has served pastors time and time again.
