THE LEADERSHIP BATON
Many churches are experiencing a leadership vacuum, resulting in an overworked staff. The Leadership Baton provides a solution, a comprehensive approach to help churches facilitate the emergence of a leadership development “culture” within their church. Based on leadership development initiatives that have been time-tested in various local church settings, this book includes practical implementation strategies, inventories and assessments that will help you design a development pathway for the people in your church.

MUTUAL MENTORING FOR LIFE TRANSFORMATION
Mutual Mentoring for Life Transformation (by Rowland Forman) is a call to approach mentoring relationships to listen and learn, rather than merely tell and teach. It is an invitation to engage in relational slowing, allowing ample time for spiritual friendships to develop. It is also written to help church leaders move from a program-oriented approach to one where discipling is folded into every aspect of church life.

MENTORING WITH QUESTIONS
Mentoring by using questions is more than just a good idea. It was the way the Master Mentor, our Lord Jesus Christ shaped the thinking and lives of his disciples. He often followed one question with several others.The first part of this booklet is a call to emulate him by asking and listening before we teach and tell. The art of skillful questioning does open a person up, but it is not presented in the belief that there is innate goodness in each individual. Rather it accepts that we are broken and questions can make people reflect and orient themselves to God’s thoughts contained in the Scriptures.
