Richard W. Clinton & Paul Leavenworth This paper back book gives basic shaping processes for a young emerging leader. Character shaping and early ministry experiences are crucial to a good start. A good start, that is, building the foundations of ministry moves a leader on to understand the basic concept, that ministry flows out of being. Such a paradigm shift, moving to ministry flowing out of being, is a major step on continuing well and eventually finishing well. This booklet is used in foundational courses for emerging leaders. This book has sold more than any others listed in my catalog. Both these authors are well acquainted with leadership emergence theory and apply it well to emerging leaders.

Almost every leader at one time or another will face being set aside from ministry—the basic notion of isolation. This booklet shows what leaders face when set aside from ministry for various reasons like sickeness, persecution, discipline, crises, self-choice, etc. The manual gives patterns and proper attitudes to face these experiences as leaders develop toward maturity in their leadership. Isolation is one of the deep processing items which all leaders should life schedule for. This manual has been a top seller and has been used as a very important supplemental text in courses dealing with life long development. It describes what is probably the most common deep processing a leader faces. Dr. Trebesh is a missionary training and developing leaders in several Asian countries. She did her doctoral study with Dr. Clinton. THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH THIS RESOURCE STORE.

Robert Clinton Individual Commentary (pdf file). This book introduces a taxonomy of Apostolic ministries: Paul—Stage 1, Timothy—Stage 2, and Titus—Stage 3. Apostolic gift-mixes are explored for all three stages of apostolic ministry.Contextualization of Christian teaching into the situation in Crete is explored. The book of Titus has as its basic overall theme: Setting the Church in Order involves the appointing of qualified leaders who are sound in teaching and who model a Christian lifestyle, and necessitates leaders who exhort others to practical Christian living. This book is a must for a church planter who will be working in a cross-cultural setting. (388 p.) Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:24:27 -0700 http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3titusapostolic-leadership/ http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3philemon-commentary/ by Dr. J. Robert Clinton Individual Commentary (pdf file). This book shows the power of the Gospel to transform lives and to transform society. It was written in the same time span as the epistle to the Ephesians and the epistle to the Colossians. Those lofty epistles, with great doctrinal truth, were companion letters being carried to churches in the same area. The three taken together serve to emphasize just how important this little epistle was. It identifies 7 important leadership topics/lessons. Then there is the actual leadership comments on the text. Its inclusion in the Scripture shows us how important the Gospel is in everyday life. Finally there are 25 leadership articles totaling 97 pages describing various aspects of leadership seen in Philemon. Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:24:27 -0700 http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3philemon-commentary/ http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3obadiahgod-the-promise-keeper/ by Dr. J. Robert Clinton and Kenichi Yoshida Individual Commentary (pdf file). The message of Obadiah is an example of God’s meting of justice to nations who violently take revenge on others. Obadiah can inspire us to believe that God is The Promise Keeper (the good ones and the bad ones). The Book of Obadiah also teaches us that although one’s work or ministry may not make the headlines or the primetime evening news, nevertheless, there are men and women, marked out by God to do great exploits at crucial times in the history of mankind, and through whom ultimate contributions are left for the subsequent generations. It identifies 7 important leadership topics/lessons and principles derived from these topics. Finally there are 30 leadership articles totaling 121 pages describing various aspects of leadership seen in Obadiah. He inexorably moves forward with His purposes regardless of the ways nations defy Him. We, leaders today, need to be encouraged to believe that God is working toward judgment and justice. We need to believe that God will do what He says we will do. We need to have faith in the promises of God, to us, and for others. Obadiah was such an individual. At a crucial time in the history of the nation of Judah, a time when God’s people desperately needed to hear a word from the LORD, Obadiah was released by the Spirit of God to fulfill his ministry to declare to his and subsequent generations of God’s people, the assuring and comforting word of the LORD. This ought to give leaders a sober perspective on ministry in any generation. Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:24:27 -0700 http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3obadiahgod-the-promise-keeper/ http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3nehemiahfocused-living/ by Dr. J. Robert Clinton and Dr. Daniel Allen Individual Commentary (pdf file). The message of Nehemiah deals with a courageous leader’s effort to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the defenses of the city. Once the defenses are in place Nehemiah focuses on spiritual renewal and maintenance of the renewal movement. It is a book about inspirational and focused leadership. How can a leader motivate people under difficult circumstances to accomplish a task? It identifies 10 important leadership topics/lessons and principles derived from these topics. Finally there are 38 leadership articles totaling 220 pages describing various aspects of leadership seen in Nehemiah. The theme of Nehemiah captures something of his focused leadership: NEHEMIAH'S ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP was the result of God's initiation, made itself felt in the face of obstacles to rebuild the wall, was inspirational in bringing about reform and a covenant in Jerusalem, and included drastic steps of separation in order to insure an on-going meaningful religious atmosphere. Nehemiah is an exemplar of an inspirational leader as well.

Robert Clinton and Una F. Lucey Individual Commentary (pdf file). A Crucial Paradigm Shift. All leaders at one time or other will face an obedience issue in which they do not want to obey or at best only want to give a reluctant obedience. Jonah was that way and with good reason. So God deals with this inner heart attitude so that Jonah will learn to obey God from the heart. The book identifies 8 important leadership topics/lessons and principles derived from these topics. Finally there are 31 leadership articles totaling 155 pages describing various aspects of leadership seen in Jonah. (209 pages). Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:24:27 -0700 http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3jonahseeing-gods-perspective/ http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3haggairestoring-a-work-of-god/ by Dr. J. Robert Clinton and Mike Hannah Individual Commentary (pdf file). Inspirational Task-Oriented Leadership. Four kinds of leaders can profit from the study of Haggai: 1. Leaders who are facing a situation in which the Christian people to whom they are ministering are nominal in their pursuit of Christ and are heavily into secular pursuits; 2. Leaders who are discouraged about getting their followers motivated toward some vision. 3. Leaders who need to know something about how followers react to strong leadership; 4. Leaders who are in small works and are discouraged because they are small. Great leadership lessons seen in this restoration era can profit leaders struggling with the complexity of leadership in the Church age. Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:24:27 -0700 http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3haggairestoring-a-work-of-god/ http://jrclintoninstitute.com/resource-store/&category=3habakkukhope-for-a-leader-in-troubled-times/ by Dr. J. Robert Clinton Individual Commentary (pdf file). The leadership lessons from Habakkuk should have widespread acceptance from leaders today. Essentially, we live in a world, which offers little or no hope. Hope is what we need. Habakkuk tells us how to get hope in the midst of hopeless times. The basic answer, that the “just shall live by faith” still rings true today. It identifies 7 important leadership topics/lessons and principles derived from these topics. Finally there are 40 leadership articles totaling 208 pages describing various aspects of leadership seen in Habakkuk. All leaders at one time or other will face a faith crisis such as Habakkuk did. The shaping activity of God to instill faith in a leader is very instructive.

Robert Clinton Individual Commentary (pdf file). The messages of 1,2 Timothy contain the advice of a mature Apostolic worker, Paul, who is finishing well after a long tenure of pioneer work. These two books are proably the two most important books dealing with leadership for the church age (followed closely by Titus). It identifies 9 important leadership topics/lessons in 1 Timothy and 15 important leadership topics/lessons in 2 Timothy (and many leadership principles derived from these topics in 1,2 Timothy). Finally there are 74 leadership articles totaling 300 pages describing various aspects of leadership seen in 1,2 Timothy.
