Alan Roxburgh & Fred Romanuk 
The Missional Leader [EPUB ebook] 
Equipping Your Church to Reach a Changing World

In The Missional Leader, consultants Alan Roxburgh and Fred Romanuk give church and denominational leaders, pastors, and clergy a clear model for leading the change necessary to create and foster a missional church focused outward to spread the message of the Gospel into the surrounding community. The Missional Leader emphasizes principles rather than institutional forms, shows readers how to move away from ‘church as usual, ‘ and demonstrates what capacities, environments, and mindsets are required to lead a missional church.
