Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I very much appreciated the discussion of the experiences of other church leaders. I am relatively new to church leadership and in the beginning I thought my disillusionment was only something that I felt. Since reading this and talking to other new leaders in my church I am finding that my feelings are more common than I thought. I also really appreciate the Biblical grounding of the book - I love learning and think a Biblical basis for anything is very important.

The advice was sound. I found this book to be an excellent place to begin team building by giving us all the same point of reference.

Spiritual Leadership for Church Officers (Paper)

Gray's book combines biblical authority, traditional precedence and enough organizational behavior terms to help get a group of church officers talking about who they are and how they do ministry. As the moderator, I thought the session would enjoy this book as I did. In studying it together, however, I am amazed to discover there are some folks who are still really stuck on the word "spiritual" as a buzzword that connotes "loony"!

The idea of "Letting go and letting God" fill the sails of the church's ministry boat - well, that is also just a silly idea for those whose definition of ministry is based on their works, busyness, blood sweat and tears. Of course this is the rowing that goes nowhere - but for the committed rowers, the argument in Gray's book simply fails.

I personally really felt this to be a helpful book, thoughtfully and beautifully written.

There is good stuff here, but I was looking for something to read through with the Elders and I'm not sure there is enough here. Sometimes that is hard to know though because as clergy I sometimes take for granted the things I consider basic. I do appreciate any and all efforts to remind officers of the church that this is about spiritual leadership and not about fundraisers and dues.

Jul 02, Julie rated it really liked it Shelves: Joan Gray's book is an easy read. It makes a lot of important points about the significance of spiritual leadership in church officers, and how to help identify it and strengthen it.

After all, even the most dynamic and gifted pastor will be hamstrung if the congregation's lay leaders are lethargic, conflicted, or spiritually anemic. Gray lays out a variety of leadership styles and helps leaders understand when each might be appropriate. She goes on to provide resources for dealing with interpersonal relationships in the church and identifies ways churches can create an atmosphere that is supportive of the spiritual leadership of elders and deacons.

She also explores things the officers themselves can do to become more effective. Paperback Number of Pages: Geneva Press Publication Date: Developing Leaders for The Small Church: Have a question about this product? Ask a Question What would you like to know about this product?
