Between Preachers: You Can Grow Through Interim Ministry, by Jerrie Barber
New book about interim ministry
When a preacher stays a long time, usually the church doesn’t like the next preacher. I volunteer to be the next preacher they don’t like. During the six to eighteen months Gail and I work with them, they have time to grieve their losses and wisely select their next preacher. This book describes how we do it.

Ken Wilson, Ph.D., recommends Between Preachers, by Jerrie Barber
I very much endorse your book on leadership training, and the Between Preachers Ministry. I have fond memories of the time you spent with us in a leadership workshop, and the value of your credible information on this much needed ministry. Your insightful knowledge and expertise in the field of leadership training, along with a “hands-on” presentation, has helped us greatly as elders at the Puyallup Church of Christ.
