"Pastor &amp; Deacons is a must-read for all those in church leadership. . . .This book is biblical, practical and helpful. It is chock-full of “how to” ideas that will strengthen relationships and promote spiritual unity in the local church. The principles on church discipline and the chapter on “Dealing with Difficulties” are worth the price of the book. Pastor, get this book and you will refer to it often." Dr. Tom Farrell Evangelist 
How should a church be organized? 
What functions do the pastors, deacons, and congregation serve? 
Who qualifies for the offices of pastor and deacon? 
How should a church manage its finances? 
How does a congregation biblically address problems? 
As fellow servants in the same church, Carl Herbster and Kenneth Howerton have collaborated in the writing of Pastor &amp; Deacons: Servants Working Together to answer these important questions and many more. The "on-the-job," real-life experiences of the authors make this a particularly practical book. 
Pastor &amp; Deacons is a practical exposition and application of biblical principles of church organization and leadership.

Young people are surrounded by media militantly attacking biblical virtue and values. The goal of Christian education is still to present every man perfect in Christ, but postmodernism declares that there is no one right way to live. In the midst of this conflict, many Christian school leaders are surrendering, lowering their expectations in order to bring in more students, tolerating an atmosphere which works against the basic purpose for which the schools were founded. Against the Tide calls the Christian education movement back to its mission. The ideas offered in this book are thoroughly practical. The authors have effectively implemented these principles in their Christian schools. More important, these ideas are thoroughly biblical in their understanding of the role of Christian education and, in particular, of the Christian school, in helping parents to develop Christlike character in young people.
