Many leaders in our churches are discouraged and depressed by the magnitude of the task of leading and serving God's people. The reality is that all leaders – including pastors – need someone who will help them in their daily life and leadership role by encouraging, rebuking, and supporting them with words of wisdom.
In this book, Scott Thomas and Tom Wood offer a form of coaching that is primarily gospel-centered. With this objective, the authors do not limit themselves to describing the criteria and techniques for being an effective shepherd or coach, but they explain how these practices must be motivated by a heart that the Gospel has transformed.
This resource will be useful to pastors and leaders, so that they lead the flock of God in its mission, in the manner of Jesus Christ, the good shepherd, that is to say with love and for the glory of God .
“This book is exceptional. It is chock-full of spiritual wisdom, as well as being practical in developing leaders among God's people. There is a strong understanding of the Scriptures and many years of experience in pastoral ministry. This book has challenged and encouraged me in my own life, ministry, and walk with God. I highly recommend it ! »
