By Robert E. Logan and Tara Miller

A recent survey of churches asked the question, “What is your greatest need as a church?” Guess what the number one answer was? “Leadership development.”

And yet most pastors and churches don't yet have a clear path for developing leaders within our own congregations. We realize that what we’ve been doing is no longer working. But we’ve not yet found other workable alternatives.

From Followers to Leaders: The Path of Leadership Development in the Local Church, the new book by Robert E. Logan and Tara Miller, sets forth a path for developing leaders that is simple, reproducible, and adaptable—something you can take and use in your ministry context.

You don’t need the big bucks to import the latest system from the latest mega-church. You just need something simple that works. And here are the secrets of why the path works:

• It’s relational, and therefore easily adapted to the specific needs and goals of the individual person and church.
• It’s holistic, assuming that each person is spiritual, rational, emotional, and relational—and that all of these areas are related and inseparable.
• It’s easily reproducible, not dependent on specifically talented individuals, expensive resources, or complex systems.

If you are tired of waiting for ready-made leaders to show up on your doorstep, this book is for you. Come discover a simple, reproducible path for developing leaders in the local church. For book information, go to ChurchSmart Resources.
