Leading with Love: Essentials of Church Leadership is a handbook, the distilled lessons of Terence Elsberry’s thirty-plus years as an ordained minister. It challenges clergy of all denominations to apply his proven leadership skills and knowledge to the ministry God has called them to. Here you’ll find a handbook of ministry-enhancing information in a helpful Q. and A. format. The answers focus on key areas of ministry and are the result of proven success.
Warm, anecdotal, practical, and motivational, here’s a book to help lead church leaders through the heartache, frustrations, and joys of church leadership while by God’s grace remembering the underlying purpose of ministry: to share God’s love with his people and, with them, and through them, to the world. As Terry says, ‘The reason why church ministry is so satisfying is because there are so many people to love.’
