Miracle And Magic
A few helpful tidbits, but the vast majority of this book is written for pastors in traditions that allow pastors to move on their own volition, not in the appointment rotation... so it wasn't ultimately super-helpful for me. Easy to read, though, and would be super-helpful for pastors in other traditions.
