Your Church in Rhythm: The Forgotten Dimensions of Seasons and Cycles

  • Offers an innovative new model for church leaders

  • Miller has been influential in the formation and promotion of “Church-Based Training” as in international movement

  • Offers a proven method for avoiding burnout for church leaders and members by doing the right things at the right time

The author offers much-need help to overwhelmed leaders and shows them how to apply Miller’s seasonal/cyclical approach to church life.
