Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2003

'God-centered coaching has the power to change lives... both your life and the lives of those you come into contact with,' says Logan and Carlton.

God has something for each person to accomplish. He has given us a part to play in the advance of his kingdom. We are successful when we find out what part that is and learn to play it well. Coaching can help us take steps that move toward the completion of the work God has given us to do.

Coaching 101 will help you discover the power of coaching in your life both as a coach and as someone being coached. Your life will be enriched if you will open yourself up to receiving the wise counsel available from God through others who desire to enhance the potential of your life. And your heart will beat a little faster as you tap into the adventure God has made available for you, as you invest in the lives of others through coaching.

5.0 out of 5 stars These ideas actually work really well, November 3, 2006

When I first started going to seminars by Bob Logan, I wondered if his material actually would help church leaders or if it was more theory that just sounded good. I started coaching churches in a wide array of settings. I found that when I followed Bob's methods, the results were superior over times when I did not follow his recommendations.

This is one author who really seems to be an expert in his field. His ideas are simple, biblical, functional, and really do work well.
I suppose these ideas which were developed for church leaders, could really work in any setting where people are leading other people. Any leader can learn a lot from this book. So I recommend it for all categories/applications, all the way from a baseball little league team, to managing/leading a large corporation.

Bob Logan is America's premiere expert on personal coaching and discipleship. Coaching 101: Discover the Power of Coaching is a great intro to what it is all about. Seasoned leaders need not fear that it is too basic, as Logan has invested his year's of wisdom into this book. Great primer for distribution to leaders throughout your church as well. The book cover the five R's of Coaching: Relate, Reflect, Refocus, Resource, Review.

I was dissapointed with Dr. Logans book on coaching. It was worth the read and I was able to check it out from the church library but it didn't give me much information but rather solidified information that I already heard before. I would suggest Dr. Crabb's book.

I have read another of Pastor Logans book on church leadership and it helped me grow and this is worth the time to read but anyone with a bit of knowledge in listening skills and communication will probably not get a lot from the pages. Dr Logan is dependable and won't lead you astray.
