Review:

"Most ministries languish not for lack of God's power, but for the lack of effective leadership - most Christian leaders suffer not from a lack of character, but a lack of leadership skills. Jon's book will help. It's a goldmine of pragmatic, applicable ideas that will help leaders lead at a higher level!" -Mark Miller, VP Training and Development, Chick-fil-A, Inc., author with Ken Blanchard The Secret! What Great Leaders Know - and Do "Jon Byler not only believes that Christian leaders must sharpen their skills; he has the audacity to write a handbook on how to do it! He honed his own leadership skills as a leader and trainer of leaders in Kenya and invites his readers to walk with him on the exciting adventure of growing in effectiveness, not just by writing clearly and convincingly but by providing tools for growth and the measurement of growth. This book is indeed a treasure store of material for leaders in any culture." -Dr. Don Jacobs, Anthropologist, Author and Leadership Trainer A powerful guide on the art of leading comes from the transformational experiences of the author. I have known and walked with Jon for a few years and have seen how he leads and works at perfecting this art. The simple truth in this book is, 'if you want to lead others, lead yourself first.' I recommend this book to all who want to lead like Christ. -Dr. Leaderwell Pohsngap, Vice President, The Fourteen Four Group "This book challenges the status quo, helping church leaders to stop hiding behind excuses for not growing. The crying need of the church is for more and better leaders, and this book covers the fundamentals of leadership. It will put a compass in your head and a magnet in your heart." -Dr. Tim Elmore, Author, Founder and President of Growing Leaders, Inc.
