Leadership makes a difference. With the rising interest in leadership, CPAS has partnered with Grove Books to offer cutting edge thinking and ideas from mainly UK authors to ensure the difference is biblical, thoughtful, practical and kingdom focused.
With four titles a year, the series addresses some of the contemporary issues on leadership, as well as offer practical insights for those in leadership roles. You can subscribe to the series as a whole or order individual books as they are released from here.
The first book in the series, written by Bishop Graham Cray, is on the topic of Discerning Leadership. Bishop Graham Cray champions a revolution in leadership through renewed dependence on the church's primary leader: the Holy Spirit. With profound implications for resourcing the local church for mission, this is a trenchant must-read.
The Inner Life of a Christian Leader, is by Chris Blakeley and Sue Howard. Much teaching on leadership focuses on skills and abilities, tactics and strategies - the outward aspects of leadership. But Christian leadership is always going to be more concerned with the inner life of the leader.
Loving Volunteers is by Richard Steel. Shock revelation: most members of church teams are volunteers! So how should a local-church leader lead volunteers effectively? This short, practical guide is an essential resource for the emotionally intelligent leader.
Embracing Chaos. Tim Harle ponders the seeming chaos of organic growth and development, drawing practical lessons to prompt vibrant change and re-organisation in the church.
Understanding and Using Power by Roger Preece. Leadership without corrupting you soul: Exploring the dynamics and characteristics of leadership, Roger Preece offers a very practical guide to our uses and (potential) abuses of power.
