THE PASTOR & THE PERSONAL COMPUTER

Information Management for Ministers

William R.Johnson

How many times have you thought to yourself, "I didn't go to seminary to become an administrator, but sometimes it seems that's all I am!"? The sad fact is that far too many ministers, just like you, find themselves mired in boring and repetitive administrative tasks-drudgery that eats up time better spent in more rewarding, personal ministry.

The Pastor and the Personal Computer can change all that. Providing an easy-to-read, easy-to-follow introduction to the personal computer, William R. Johnson shows you how to use the computer to make your work less time-consuming and more precise. Johnson specifically demonstrates how to organize church membership and financial data.

One of the major premises of The Pastor and the Personal Computer is that you, the minister, face a critical decision in this "Information Age." You can either ignore information, be overwhelmed by it, or effectively use it to serve Christ. Johnson details sources of information and shows you how to use the current information explosion to greatly enrich your ministry.

In addition, The Pastor and the Personal Computer shows you how to use the computer to prepare and enhance the worship service and the sermon.
