Description:
If God has called you to spiritual leadership, be advised- He never promised a flowery bed of ease. But He has given us what we need to lead His flock to growth and glory.
We live in a most challenging time in history and leading has never been tougher. Joe Stowell charts the course biblically to enable shepherds to do the best of things in the worst of times.
How do we lead effectively in this changing generation? By focusing on timeless targets, such as character, effective proclamation, spiritual giftedness, and spiritual growth.
This book is not about programs. It not about developing the best techniques for numerical growth. Rather it is a discussion of the heart of the matter–the heart of the shepherd. In Shepherding the Church, Dr. Stowell takes a look at what it takes to be a truly effective leader from the inside out. He encourages today’s leaders to focus on their own character, spiritual growth, and spiritual gifts. 336 pages paperback
