Pastor and author Steve Hickey lays down a solid gameplan for pastors everywhere to turn their ministry into lean, mean, blessing machines. Hickey uses vivid imagery, including the physical laws of momentum and Newton's First Law of Motion, to demonstrate the numerous ways a church's ministry can be bogged down. Momentum provides pastors and lay ministers alike with concrete practices drawn from anecdotal episodes from Hickey's own ministry career to identify momentum killers as early as possible and nip them in the bud, replacing them with a momentum crescendo.
