Book Description
A major problem in the local church today is lack of leadership. Simply put, we have more needs than we have leaders to meet those needs. So, how do we train better leaders faster? The truth is, very few churches really have a well-thought-out leadership development plan. Growth requires continually adding healthy new leaders, who carry the church culture forward and embody its core values. Everyone knows it, but how do we achieve it? In Empowering Leadership author and leadership consultant Michael Fletcher says leaders like this can't simply be bought, nor can they be hired from someone else's leadership assembly line. Developing leaders at every level, to create an environment that attracts potential leaders, and to build better leaders faster, an organization needs more than a pipeline. It needs a culture that develops leaders organically. Finding the right kind of leaders to guide your church on a path of continual growth comes out of keeping the right focus, and that focus is not just on the leaders. In fact, as Fletcher says, It isn't about the leader. It never was about the leader. It will never be about the leader. It will always and only be about Jesus and his people. It's about the people. True leadership development includes the often messy, but necessary, interaction of life upon life. So hiring pastors and key staff roles from within the church is the very best policy—people who "breathe" the culture of the church and who have helped create the culture you want to maintain. If your church or organization needs a good leadership development structure, then you're holding the right book. Empowering Leadership details Michael's greatest insights on how to build better leaders faster by creating a leadership development culture in your church or organization—naturally, organically, continually. Empower your church or organization through great leadership. This book will show you how!

Book Description
In today's uncertain world, storms will arise that test your faith in a loving heavenly Father. At times, the winds and waves of the world's deceptions will roll in and seek to erode your confidence in God. Without a firm foundation in the truth of God's Word, you may be tempted to go off course and accept less than God's best for you. However, when you hear Jesus' words, receive them, and put them into practice, you will construct a life the torrents cannot shake, "because it was well built" (Luke 6:48). The Purple Book will help you understand foundational truths that God wants you to hear on topics such as sin, salvation, spiritual gifts, prayer, worship, generosity, and evangelism. It will show you how the Bible is "God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16). It will help you understand that the faith you hold has true power to change lives and transform nations. It will give you a solid foundation the enemy cannot dismantle—and a heart shaped by knowledge of God's Word.

Book Description
The Spirit-Empowered Leader Workbook was designed to help leaders establish a biblical understanding and experience of the Holy Spirit filled and empowered life for effective leadership. Jesus told his disciples: I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." (John 14:10-12, NIV, italics added) An understanding of the nature, role, and empowering of the Holy Spirit is essential if we are to be like Jesus, do what he did, and do even "greater works" than he did by fulfilling the Great Commission through demonstrating and communicating the gospel of the kingdom to all nations. This is what we will attempt to do as we work through this workbook. Each of these workbooks is formatted using the IDEA approach to transformational learning. The goal of the IDEA approach is to facilitate the "gracious work" of God through his word and spirit to transform us "into his likeness with ever increasing glory..." (II Corinthians 3:18, NIV) Each chapter will begin with an Introduction (I) followed by Discovery (D), Explanation (E), and Application (A) sections. Each chapter can be worked through as a unit or in sequence as a whole with a variety of process options including individual, small group, and various course applications. The Spirit-Empowered Leader Workbook is designed as a stand-alone or a companion to other workbooks in The Leadership Development Series. Other workbooks in this series include The Bible-Centered Leader Workbook; The Discipleship and Mentoring Workbook; and a "best of" or introductory workbook for younger emerging leaders entitled The Discipleship and Leadership Workbook. Take your time and prayerfully and carefully read, study, discuss, apply, and evaluate your progress. Remember that becoming a spirit-empowered leader is not an objective as much as it is a process or lifestyle. It is not something we get, but something we become over time. Over the years we will be transformed by God and empowered to "be" about the Father's business (Luke 2:49).
