While businesses across the globe are urgently reshaping themselves for sustainability, many church congregations continue to operate as they have for decades - clinging to traditions, organizational models, and leadership patterns that no longer reflect the realities of today’s world. In For the Sake of the House , Dr. Raimo heightens our awareness of the organizational dynamics within the church and advances strategies to meet both present and future demands. Drawing from Scripture, organizational theory, and personal experience, he confronts assumptions we often accept without question and perspectives we frequently overlook or ignore. Rooted in Psalm 122:9 ( ‘For the sake of the House of the Lord . . .’ ) and the Songs of Ascent sung by the Israelites as they journeyed up the steps of the temple in Jerusalem, this book weaves together biblical imagery with practical application. Divided into four parts, it examines the church as an organization, defines essential leadership qualities, highlights the power of strategic foresight, and integrates these streams into a global vision with local impact. This is not a call to abandon biblical truth - it is a call to courageously challenge tradition for the sake of the Gospel. For the Sake of the House will push you to rethink assumptions, reframe leadership, and reposition the church for lasting relevance in a rapidly changing world. “Wise as serpents, yet harmless as doves” - that is the posture required. For the sake of the house.
