A few months back our church leadership restructured ourselves so that the majority of elders (or shepherds) could devote themselves to encouraging church ministry leaders and help the congregation on a more personal level with their spiritual direction. I meet with these shepherds to devise a course of action and we some purposeful meetings with congregants in their homes. Shortly after we began I read Leman's book and knew that it would be of benefit to our leaders. I've purchased a copy for each shepherd as well as our congregation's ministers.

The book presents seven practical, relevant suggestions for leading people based on techniques used by shepherds in taking care of their sheep. Leman uses information about shepherds and sheep from Phillip Keller's wonderful book, "A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23." Leman wraps his principles in an engaging story that is fun to read. This would be a great book to use in discussion groups.

I also bought an additional copy for my college age daughter who has just started a new job where she is responsible for directing a small group of women in a social agency. This will be her first time to be a "director" and it very much resembles the situation of Ted McBride, the main character of the book.

Great message and to the point

Our executive team was asked to read this book and we each were given a chapter to present. I am by no means the fastest reader in the world, but I breezed through this in less than 2 hours. I believe the message and directions in this book are the true path of a leader. I have since passed on copies to the leaders in my deptment and have received nothing but positive feedback.

Great book!

One of the greatest books on leadership out there. A simple to the point story that teaches skills not taught in most business schools today.

Having read many leadership books, this is one of the best in teaching how to lead with your heart. It's well-written, easy to read, and paints a challenging, yet rewarding picture of leadership that requires devotion and commitment of oneself above and beyond all else.
