I read my first book by Aubrey Malphurs while completing a doctorate in ministry eight years ago. Recently it has become my goal to read everything he has written, because his insights for church ministry in the 21st century are simply unparalleled. This title is the second in a three-part series on leadership. Here he continues where he ended in his first work, "Becoming Leaders." The third title, "Leading Leaders" is due to be released in the near future.

This book, for all its merits, is not an easy-read. Malphurs is extremely detailed and thorough as he examines the leadership building process for the local church. Still, any pastor serious about developing leaders in his congregation should not be without it.

Simply his best work to date.Deeply insightful,yet practical. I strongly recomend this to his previous book "Being Leaders". Five Stars!

Malphurs and Mancini have done an excellent job in outlining not only the necessity of leadership at all levels in the local church, but also how to create leaders at all levels. Many books explain the importance of leadership but few tell you how to go about building leaders and establishing a "culture of leadership" within your church.

This book is a must read for all church leaders

This is an excellent book for leaders in the church to read individually or as a staff. We have read several sections together as a staff and have found it to be very inspiring and practical. The principles contained in this book have provided direction for training our leaders as we begin a new year in specific areas. The book has provided a foundation for me individually to consider a broader plan for ongoing leadership enlistment and development. I would highly recommend this book for any one that has the responsibility to enlist and train leaders at any level in the local church or Christian ministry.

Leadership development is a significant challenge for many churches.

"Building Leaders: Blueprints for Developing Leadership at Every Level of Your Church" helps pastors meet that challenge. Two things that stand out in this book.

First, it offers real-life examples of how churches can train staff members and laypeople to lead. Nothing is more frustrating than a book filled with philosophical ideas that have no practical application. Thankfully, this book does not do that. It gives fresh real life examples.

Second, this book offers step-by-step instructions for how to provide leadership training. For people who may not have a background in leadership development, this book becomes a great tool because of those step-by-step instructions. If you buy this book, you can put this stuff into practice thanks to these step-by-step instructions.

Great insight into developing leadership within the Church. The authors give both insight and practical steps to help in this area. Only draw back is that you need to read other of their books to get a complete picture.

Malphurs & Mancini geven in deel 2 van de trilogie Being Leaders, Building Leaders en Leading Leaders waardevolle blauwdrukken voor leiderschapsontwikkeling in kerk en gemeente. Balancerend tussen beschrijvend (best practie, tips) en voorschrijvend (tijdloze Bijbelse opdrachten), verfrissend, praktisch en rijk aan referenties.
