    About this ebook

    Bemused by the constant rising and falling of new methodologies when
    he began a career in ministry over fifty years ago, university president
    Robertson McQuilkin has ever since committed his work to a core group
    of enduring ministry principles that he calls “the five smooth stones.”

    In summary, these principles are: the Bible (making it the functional
    authority), the Congregation (aligning it with the biblical purposes), the
    Spirit (releasing his energizing power), the Plan of Redemption (the mission
    of every disciple), and the Lord Jesus (model of servant leadership).

    While that outline may seem very obvious, one must ask why so many
    churches and other ministries fail somewhere along the way. Could it be
    a simple lack of commitment to relentlessly measure every effort by these
    key standards?

    McQuilkin has witnessed the success of his method through five decades
    of dynamic service, from church planting to foreign missions to the
    academic arena. The Five Smooth Stones is his invitation to join in the
    deep reflection, honest evaluation, and courageous integration of each
    principle here in order to bless every aspect of your ministry.
