The very best training a pastor can receive comes from proven leaders with proven track records - leaders like John MacArthur, John Piper, Steven Lawson, RC Sproul, and Al Mohler. You'll find all of them and more in The Shepherd as Leader, a collection of the all-time best-ever messages on spiritual leadership from the popular Shepherds Conference held annually at Grace Community Church in Southern California. With long-time best selling author John MacArthur as general editor and contributor, church leaders will find an abundance of guidance on...the key essentials of effective ministry; the urgency of purity and integrity in a leader's life; the value of prayer, both personal and public; the biblical responses to suffering and opposition; and, the necessity of complete reliance upon God's grace and empowerment. The Shepherd as Leader is the second volume in our popular Shepherds Library series, a new line of resources designed to help pastors fulfil their calling with excellence. Also available is The Shepherd as Preacher.
