    Cyndee, this list has given me some great ideas for my leaders to read. Thanks!

    You asked for our favorite leadership books and one of the books I ask all my leaders to read is the book by Jen Wilkin, None Like Him, 10 ways God is Different from us (and Why That’s a Good Thing). In order to be able to lead others to God we must understand His character first. One of my favorite parts of each chapter is how Jen helps us remember that we are not God and so we must leave it up to God.

    One other book that I must mention is ’30 Days to Understanding the Bible’ by Max Anders. My leaders are always amazed at how this book really captures their attention no matter how well they know the Bible or have been a Christian for years and years.

    Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders is another of my favorites

    7 Women and the Secret of Their Greatness by Eric Metaxas. Reading autobiographies of great Christian women encourages them to understand how much their life really matters and that God has placed them where they are to make a difference for Him in this world.

    His Brain, Her Brain: How Divinely Designed Differences Can Strengthen Your Marriage
    by Walt and Barb Larimore and Shaunti Feldhahn. I believe this book gives my leaders insight into how men and women are uniquely designed by God to fill different roles. (Walt Larimore is a Dr. so much of what’s included about our brains is based on science and gives us a way to reach out to those that are not Christians who may not be willing to acknowledge that God created us male and female for a purpose). I always explain to the ladies, even those that are not married, that once you start understanding how the male brain is wired, by God, you will have better insight into helping the women you lead understand their husbands, and their sons.

    Thanks again for all your postings. I’ve reaped great ideas from your podcasts.

    Training should be a part of your time together. You may want to bring in an outside speaker or two such as a Pastor or counselor to assist with your training.
