This was quite an interesting read! Prior to reading this book, I wasn't familiar with the idea of family systems theory. However as I read this book it became very clear and the way Robert Creech applies it to church life is both profound and practical. I think any church leader could benefit from reading and understanding this book!

R. Robert Creech’s “Family Systems and Congregational Life” is a must read for pastors and lay ministers. Creech’s book superbly demonstrates that psychology is not antithetical to the Christian faith; it turns out, it can actually supercharge it. Creech’s use of Bowen theory can help pastors be the healthy leaders they were meant to be and in turn, help their congregations reach their full God-given potential. I highly recommend this book!
