Designed to Lead

The Church and Leadership Development

By: Eric Geiger, Kevin Peck

Narrated by: Jim Denison

Most churches merely exist.

Many churches do not develop leaders intentionally and consistently. When leaders emerge from some churches, it is often by accident. Something is missing. Something is off.

Authors Eric Geiger (author of the best-selling Simple Church and Creature of the Word) and Kevin Peck argue that churches that consistently produce leaders have strong convictions to develop leaders, healthy cultures for leadership development, and helpful constructs to systematically and intentionally build leaders. All three are essential for leaders to be formed through the ministry of a local church.

From the first recordings of history, God has made it clear that he has designed creation to be led by his covenant people. More than that, he has decided what his people are to do with that leadership. Whether you are called to lead in your home, in the marketplace, in God's church, or in your community, if you are called by God you are called to lead others to worship the glory of God in Jesus Christ.

God has designed his people to lead.

Very well laid out and presented.

Very well laid out and presented. They do a great job driving home what Paul was communicating in Ephesians 4. Really appreciate the value and importance placed on the holiness of the everyday work place.

Great content..

The content of the book is really good. However Jim Denison sounds like he is narrating a movie trailer that last for hours.

Solid but not revolutionary

The principle's taught in it are grounded in scripture and very good. However I am starting to realize that it is not so much about acquiring more knowledge in leadership but actually DOING. I did struggle to get through it 1) the reading was not my favorite. He sounded rather mechanical. 2) I was already sold in the need for leadership so it took 5 chapters to finally get from the why to the how.

wonderful instructions and challenge for improveme

I would read it again and suggest everyone read this irrespective of your position in the church

Fantastic and edifying

A great reminder, we are all a part of God's plan, and all are called
