Spiritual Discipleship by J. Oswald Sanders Pdf

“Take time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit.” — 1 Tim. 4:7, J. B. Phillips Translation As J. Oswald Sanders points out, true discipleship is more than intellectual assent to a belief in Christ; it involves the whole person and lifestyle. True disciples pursue their Master. They know that God is watching over their faith, but they also take Scripture’s command seriously: “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you.” They take pains, by His power, to look more and more like Jesus. This book will help you to be such a disciple. It examines Jesus’ teaching on what it means to follow Him, helping you become the kind of Christian Jesus wants you to be—not one devised by man or even other Christians. You’ll learn: The profile of an ideal disciple Conditions for discipleship The tests that disciples endure How disciples pray and grow The posture and practices of a disciple And more For anyone who wants to be not just a believer in Christ, but an imitator of Him, this book is a treasured resource. Includes questions for reflection, ideal for both individual and group study.

Breath of New Life by Fritz Mutti Pdf

Fritz Mutti, bishop of the Kansas area of The United Methodist Church, experienced forty months of watching two of his three sons suffer and die of AIDS-related diseases. "There was no way through that experience except by the way of anguished prayer," Bishop Mutti writes in Breath of New Life. "As Jesus found the strength to face Calvary through a prayer of sweat, blood, and tears in the Garden of Gethsemane, so we moved from sorrow to sorrow through suffering prayer. That prayer life led us into a new relationship with the Scriptures and a new awareness that God was with us in this terrible time. "We began," writes the bishop, "to live 'in Christ, ' know his sufferings, trust his healing, hope in his resurrection." Out of that experience, Bishop Mutti began to see spiritual leadership as more than the ability to organize or inspire, plan, or execute -- it emerges when the total human experience communes with God. It comes from the deepest recesses of the soul. Addressing traditional roles of spiritual leader such as prophets, evangelists, teachers, priests, pastors, and visionaries, Bishop Mutti provides insight that is born of a long struggle and helps clergy identify areas where they are strong and areas which need additional attention.

Critical Ingredients for Successful Spiritual Leadership by Zacharias Tanee Fomum Pdf

This book is a heart surgery of the spiritual leader. The leader’s inner life—spiritual condition—is determinant. Without a deep and intimate knowledge of God, any leadership exercised is from skill, talent, or natural endowment. It can never satisfy God's heart; neither can it lead God's people to destiny. In Critical Ingredients for Successful Spiritual Leadership, the author, Z.T. Fomum, will take you through the necessary heart cultivation required to build the leadership wealth that will set you apart and promote a mere seeker after God into a spiritual leader. He show-case the spiritual dynamics that will empower anyone in leadership at all levels with the capacity to move God to move and transform both men and situations. And since the heart condition of a leader is most altered in the place of prayer—where the heart is welded to that of God, then it is obvious that no spiritual leader can go beyond his performance in the closet—time spent alone with God. From another angle, the author demonstrates that leadership is conditioned on a life sacrificed, spent, and sold out for others. He elaborates at great length some critical aspects of spiritual leadership like strategic planning, the setting of goals, providing a model, etc., alongside practical strategies on how to successfully start and progress in leading a local church. The normal member of the local church is not left out, since they play a key role in their leader's well-being. This book will be of great help in providing insight on how you can be a source of great encouragement and spiritual progress booster to your leader. If you are actively leading or aspiring to lead God's people and are determined to dive deep into God so as to take those under your leadership to God’s heights and full approval, then this book is for you.

The Book on Leadership by John F. MacArthur Pdf

More than ever, people are talking about leadership. But much of today's discourse is advancing the same old misconceptions. In The Book on Leadership, best-selling author, pastor, and teacher John MacArthur sets the record straight: Leadership does not come from a job title. It isn't a matter of personality or charisma. And it isn't the same thing as iron-fisted authority. True leadership?the kind that refuses to bend to a shifting, fickle world?comes from a much deeper source. Based on the writings of one of the most effective spiritual leaders of all time?the apostle Paul?MacArthur presents the "26 Characteristics of a True Leader." Whether you are a business leader, civic leader, church leader, parent, teacher, or student, the life of Paul will empower you to unleash your own capacity for leadership.
