"Jane Creswell models in an incredible way how to coach as modeled by Jesus. Christ-Centered Coaching is biblical, thought-provoking, and transforming as Jane shares her experiences in helping others shift their thinking and cause them through the power of the Holy Spirit to move from where they are to where they want to go. This book is a great tool for all ministry leaders!"
--Phyllis H. Hendry, president, Lead Like Jesus, Augusta, GA
"A bridge. I was looking for a bridge, the crossing of which would turn knowing about excellent ministry into doing excellent ministry. Coaching Creswell-style has clearly provided that bridge for many Western team members, alumni, and students. If you've been on a search for that bridge, look no further than the biblical, missional, transformational and delightful message of this book. It's not just a must read--it's a must do."
--Bert Downs, president, Western Seminary

Guide to Coaching Potential by a Master Coach,
This review is from: Christ -centered Coaching: 7 Benefits for Ministry Leaders (TCP Leadership Series) (Paperback)
Christ-Centered Coaching: 7 Benefits for Ministry Leaders is a excellent introduction for Christian leaders to what coaching is and how it can help. The author, Jane Creswell, is no hack when it comes to coaching. She's the founder of the IBM Coaches Network and a Master Certified Coach, she's also a Christian with a passion to bring coaching to ministry leaders.
The strength of the book lies in Creswell's ability to dig into seven coaching approaches, which also serve as seven mental models or attitudes of a coach. Each chapter is illustrated with useful case studies of coaching situations that take the book from theory to real life. The seven are: 1. Leveraging strengths 2. Provide clarity and focus 3. Instill confidence 4. Catapult learning 5. Foster intentional progress 6. Coach others 7. Encourage God-sized goals These seven may not sound particularly unique, they are not, what is unique is the way Creswell illustrates how coaching accomplishing these things in a non-directive way and integrates these with Scriptures. As such, this book is helpful to learn the mindset and approaches of a good coach. Both potential coaches and clients would benefit from reading it. Christ-Centered Coaching adds to a growing library of coaching books for Christians.

Christ-Centered Coaching Helps Everyone,
This review is from: Christ -centered Coaching: 7 Benefits for Ministry Leaders (TCP Leadership Series) (Paperback)
A well-written book which appears to be targeted towards men and women who serve on the staffs of churches, it also provides valuable insights into how coaching works and how it can benefit everyone. It is organized in a manner that makes it easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to refer back to. I recommend it for everyone's library.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Christ -centered Coaching: 7 Benefits for Ministry Leaders (TCP Leadership Series) (Paperback)
I believe "Christ-centered Coaching" is a great book both for those who coach and those are coached. It gives clarity as to what coaching is and is not and what it can strive to attain. The book is easily understood, even by the novice to coaching. I would recommend this book as one to be read first by those who are just beginning to explore coaching.
