If You've Got to Herd Cats, You'll Need a Big Mouse: A congregational guide to a compelling vision Bill Tenny-Brittian

It turns out most good ideas are just detours and distractions. It's an unfortunate part of life that as we travel toward a promising future, a seemingly innocent good idea will pop up and entice us to chase it. When we do, we've become the proverbial cat that chases a mouse. That mouse - that distraction, that good idea - keeps us from reaching our dreams. We're so intent on pouncing on one good idea after another, we don't even realize our lives are off track from where we wanted to go in the first place. If You've Got to Herd Cats is the story of Pastor Kent Clark who is no superhero, but wants desperately to lead his church into an effective, successful, and sustainable future. As you travel with Kent, you'll discover with him how to develop a vision so robust, so compelling, that your congregational "cats" will surrender their own good ideas in order to chase one audacious Big Mouse Vision.
