Logan and Tara Miller</em></strong></p> <p>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.” </p> <p>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. </p> <p><em><strong>From Followers to Leaders: The Path of Leadership Development in the Local Church</em></strong>, 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. </p> <p>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:</p> <ul> <li>It’s relational, and therefore easily adapted to the specific needs and goals of the individual person and church. <li>It’s holistic, assuming that each person is spiritual, rational, emotional, and relational—and that all of these areas are related and inseparable. <li>It’s easily reproducible, not dependent on specifically talented individuals, expensive resources, or complex systems. </ul> <p>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.
