Review
Those in counseling or church leadership particularly will appreciate Collins' work in Christian Coaching. -- Christian Retailing, December 10, 2001

Product Description
Coaching is a hot topic today. No longer just a word for the athletic arena, a personal coach can guide us in many areas of life. Dr. Gary R. Collins has taken the successful principles of coaching and given them a God-centered application for our lives and the church. Through stories, insights, and interviews with influential coaches, Collins gives us a model of Christian coaching that inspires vision, passion, and a sense of purpose. Christian Coaching demonstrates the characteristics of an effective coach, how to incorporate those characteristics into one’s life, and how to coach and lead others with the same leadership style Jesus demonstrated: servant leadership.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Resource For Christian Coaches, January 10, 2002
By "lindastoll" (Salt Point, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Collins' book is an outstanding resource for the Christian coach - and for anyone else who works closely with people. His clear writing style and enthusiastic approach to coaching make this volume hard to put down. If you want to know more about coaching, or are considering being coached or becoming a coach, this is a "must read."

The appendices at the end of the book are a great resource for coaches - these forms, tools, and questionnaires are worth the cost of the book alone!

This book provides a long-awaited and much-needed introduction of the field of coaching to the Christian community. It is sure to have great impact!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Guide to Christian Coaching, April 4, 2005
Although the work is lengthy and a little wordy (or this could reflect my relatively short attention span with 2 small ones at home), this is a very important guide to Christian coaching. Like Dr. Collins, I was a mental health professional (a psychiatrist) before I became a coach and Dr. Collins does a good job of differentiating the two.

He does a very nice job of explaining to the uninitiated what Christian coaching is and how it can help.

Recommended reading for those considering utilizing Christian coaching or becoming a Christian coach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview of Christian Coaching!, December 2, 2004
By David R. Bess (Charleston, WV) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
If you're looking for an overview of Christian coaching, as I was, look no further. Collins here provides an excellent treatment of the subject. He defines Christian coaching, offers its benefits, and then distinguishes between its many varieties.

Collins has long been a reliable name in the field of Christian counseling. Now he presents a volume describing the broader field of Christian coaching.

This book is well-worth the investment of your time AND money!
