Leadership Coaching is an essential tool for anyone who wants to learn to coach or improve their coaching skills. Written by a top international Christian coach trainer, it is filled with real-life stories, practical tools and application exercises that bring coaching techniques to life.
The book begins with in-depth look at the heart of a coach: the values and character qualities that give coaching its tremendous power. Going far beyond mere proof-texting, Leadership Coaching demonstrates how coaching fits with the broader purposes of God in history. Starting with key biblical concepts about how God builds leaders, the book presents an integrated, values-based paradigm for developing leaders through coaching. As one coach trainer says:
"Without a doubt, it's the best I've read in the coaching genre. Tony has raised the bar for books on coaching with Leadership Coaching. This is especially true for coaching books written from a biblical perspective."
Part II uses a hands-on, interactive approach to show you how to coach. Utilizing the seven key elements of effective coaching as a framework, each facet of the coaching relationship is explained and illustrated in detail. Once youve grasped the major concepts, Master Class sections provide a wealth of tools, models and exercises to help you apply coaching concepts to real-life situations. From extensive lists of powerful questions to 50 key coaching principles, from tips on giving healthy feedback to tools for problem-solving, Leadership Coaching delivers the practical insights you need to coach effectively.
Well written, filled with great resources and eminently practical, Leadership Coaching is a great introduction to a powerful way of helping others grow.

Probably the Best Coaching Book I Have Read Yet!,
This review is from: Leadership Coaching: The Disciplines, Skills, and Heart of a Christian Coach (Paperback)
Leadership Coaching gives both detailed instruction on the mechanisms of great coaching as well as a thorough explanation behind the heart of a Coach. As a Certified Professional Coach and Coach Trainer myself (Truth Coaching), I highly recomend the book to those interested in coaching, in addition to professionals already in the field. This book helps remind us all that coaching is truly an "inside-out" process.

The Bar Has Been Raised,
By Dr. Jerry Graham "Coaching You to Your Destiny" (Virginia Beach, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leadership Coaching: The Disciplines, Skills, and Heart of a Christian Coach (Paperback)
The book is absolutely awesome!!! Without a doubt, it's the best I've read in the coaching genre. Tony Stoltzfus has raised the bar for books on coaching with Leadership Coaching. This is especially true for coaching books written from a biblical perspective. It is a must read for all coaches, but especially those who coach Christians. Perhaps even more significantly, this book will change the lives of those who have no aspirations to coach. This book should be considered a basic handbook in human relations. Tony has provided a great service to the coaching profession and the body of Christ.

Comprehensive and Practical for Pastors,
By Randall G. Neighbour (Houston, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leadership Coaching: The Disciplines, Skills, and Heart of a Christian Coach (Paperback)
I coach small groups at my home church and even wrote a pocket book on coaching myself. I also consult pastors and churches through my organization, and recommend this book to every single pastor I speak to when it comes to coaching their small groups. What I have found in this book is a unique wealth of knowledge on how to develop others to coach... something that few authors write about, and even fewer Christian authors write about. Most coaching books are how to coach someone directly... this bumps it up the ladder a rung for the person developing those who will coach. Excellent read. I wish Amazon.com had six stars so I could choose more than 5 for this book.
