The Spiritual Formation of Leaders [Paperback]

Chuck Miller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 13, 2007

Why do the demands of leadership often draw leaders away from intimacy with God? What can I do to become a more effective leader? How can I keep from burning out and bailing out? How can we develop effective leaders who are being spiritually transformed as they abide in Christ? Key to answering these questions is the simple but profound truth that we must be the people of God before we do the work of God. That's why The Spiritual Formation of Leaders invites you to deeper intimacy with Christ so, in Him, you will be empowered to enjoy rich community with one another and a life of fruitful ministry. Spiritual leadership formation happens only in God's presence. So come to Jesus. Meet with Him in the Soul Room, walk with Him into the Leadership Room, and watch Him work in you and through you for His kingdom

Are you too tired, busy, discouraged or stressed in church leadership? I highly recommend this book if you want a complete transformation of how you view leadership and spiritual formation. They can not be separated. Chuck Miller's timely words will encourage your faith, shift your ministry focus and reignite the passion in your relationship with Jesus. Getting back to these basics will contagiously change your daily lifestyle. Get the book, devour it and share it! This makes for a great group study as it has questions at the end of each chapter for discussion.

Chuck Miller changed my life twice... years ago when I attended one of his Discipleship Seminars, and now again, with the publication of this great, good book. With a pastor's heart and a teacher's skill, the author reminds his readers of all that is true about God's love, and how that love overflows to others. He gives us confidence that we can both know God intimately, and influence others to enjoy the fellowship and communion in a deeper way too. My husband and I have purchased many copies of this book to pass along. It revived my spirit!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Much Needed Book on Leadership!, August 22, 2009

This review is from: The Spiritual Formation of Leaders (Paperback)

After years of leadership, I was burned out and disillusioned about being a leader. Though I have in my library innumerable books on leadership covering a wide range of topics, none of them spoke into my life like Chuck Miller's book. His book provides a much-needed emphasis on the critical importance of establishing an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and allowing the overflow of this relationship to spill into every sphere of one's ministry. Yes, one knows that it is important to have a vital relationship with Christ and somehow one's devotional life will impact his/her ministry. Chuck Miller connects the dots with a real-life process giving plenty of real-life stories on how the time in the Soul Room shapes and influences the Leadership Room. The entire process is biblically and theologically based in Scripture and is immersed in real-life ministry situations. Chuck has given me--and may well give you--a fresh new hope for a Spirit-energized ministry!
