THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF A TRANSFORMED MIND! Exodus (Book By Book) [Sep 30, 2004] Bewes, Richard and Blackham, Paul The writer of Hebrews says that believers "will find grace to help them when they need it" (Heb. 4:16). Lucas explains how we can utilize the grace we've been given in making choices from the seemingly inconsequential to the paramount. He challenges that grace "calls us to choose some paths and reject others." Each chapter focuses on how choosing and relying on the path of grace can make a difference in attitudes and responses to the pressures of the world which we're called to be in but not of. Seven out of ten Christian leaders feel overworked, four in ten suffer financial pressures, only two in ten have had management training, and 1,500 give up their job over a ten-year period. At the same time, as financial restrictions affect the availability of full-time ministers, more people are needed for leadership roles in local congregations, for every area of church work. This book faces the challenge of raising up new leaders and helping existing leaders to mature, using the model for growing leaders at the heart of the Arrow Leadership Programme, a ministry of the Church Pastoral Aid Society (CPAS). It comprehensively surveys leadership skills and styles, discerning our personal calling, avoiding the 'red zone' of stress, developing character, and living as part of the community of God's people. The book contains an introduction and 12 chapters, in six sections, plus conclusion, epilogue and resources section: Part 1: Leadership today; Part 2: Growing leaders know they're chosen; Part 3: Growing leaders discern God's call; Part 4: Growing leaders develop Christ-like character; Part 5: Growing leaders cultivate competence; and Part 6: Growing leaders lead in community. |
