Life Lessons for Leaders
Overview
Pastors facing ministry leadership challenges often wonder what class they missed in Bible college or seminary that was supposed to help them deal with such challenges. They long for an experienced mentor, but a good one is hard to find.
Author and musician Derric Johnson presents a series of challenging and inspiring meditations based on leadership principles learned from his ministry mentor, Dr. Orval C. Butcher, founding pastor of Skyline Wesleyan Church in LaMesa, California. These leadership meditations offer insight, encouragement, and affirmation for pastors who want help developing their leadership capabilities.
Categories of meditations include introspection, risk and creativity, vision, personal growth, pushing on, stepping out, reaching out, mentoring, looking up, and kneeling down.
Whether you are just beginning or are a veteran of the ministry, Life Lessons for Leaders is the perfect guide for improving the quality, focus, and effectiveness of your ministry. With the Logos edition of Life Lessons for Leaders, you have easy access to Scripture texts, along with a wealth of other resources in your digital library.
