Building a Strong Local Church, by Pastor Edwin Anderson, makes an important contribution to the fields of Church and Pastoral Theology.

In this book, Pastor Anderson tackles some thorny issues that are often avoided or overlooked in most writings on the subject of church life and pastoral care. True to the subject at hand, Pastor Anderson keeps the focus on practical application while establishing a strong biblical foundation for the concepts and ideas he advances.

He manages to do this in a scholarly, yet warm and readable, manner. This book is written primarily for pastors and other full-time ministers, but there is also a lot of information in it that will help laymen and local church leaders better understand how they can cooperate with their pastor as he oversees the flock of God.
