Leadership Principles for Pastors and Leaders Navigating the Challenges of Pastoral Ministry

The church is experiencing a leadership crisis. For every celebrity pastor exiting in the spotlight, there are hundreds of lesser-known pastors leaving in the shadows. Why are so many pastors leaving the ministry? Bestselling author Paul David Tripp suggests that lurking behind the failure of a pastor is a weak leadership community.

Turning to Scripture for guidance, Tripp presents readers with 12 leadership-community principles necessary for a gospel-centered leadership model. Here is a book with a message for those new to ministry as well as those experienced in it—God’s abiding presence is your hope in leadership. 

• Perfect for Pastors and Church Leaders: Presents a church-leadership model that is informed by the gospel of Jesus Christ
• Practical: Highlights 12 principles for leadership: achievement, gospel, limits, balance, character, war, servants, candor, identity, restoration, longevity, and presence
• Now with Study Questions: Use these prompts to reflect on each chapter alone or in a small-group setting
