Focused Lives—Inspirational Life Changing Lessons

Focused Lives—Inspirational Life Changing Lessons

by Dr. J. Robert Clinton

Focused Lives is a comparative bibliographic study and resource of eight effective Christian leaders who finished well. From this comparative study a definition for a focused life was derived (527, p. pdf file).

Focused Lives—Inspirational Life Changing Lessons More Details
A focused life is a life dedicated to exclusively carrying out God's effective purposes through it, by identifying the focal issues, that is, the life purpose, effective methodology, major role, or ultimate contribution which allows an increasing prioritization of life's activities around the focal issues, and results in a satisfying life of being and doing. Comparative study as to how each of the eight discovered life purpose, effective methodologies, major role and ultimate contributions yields invaluable information/ lessons for a leader who wishes to see how God strategically guides a leader to become and achieve what God intended. A companion manual, Strategic Concepts-Which Clarify A Focused Life, enables the research findings of this book to be applied to leaders today.

Bridging Strategies—Leadership Perspectives for Introducing Change

Bridging Strategies—Leadership Perspectives for Introducing Change

by Dr. J. Robert Clinton

Change happens. It can be deliberate. Most of the time it is not. This resource (pdf file) helps leaders bring about change by virtue of their giftedness, role, and vision. Particularly is this true of leaders in power roles—senior pastors and organizational heads (p. 381 pages)

Bridging Strategies—Leadership Perspectives for Introducing ChangeMore Details
For those with position power there is usually not a deliberate calculation of change being implemented nor is there any anticipation of ramifications other than the direct implementation of whatever the power leader is wanting. But it is different for those not in power roles to bring about change. Usually it must be deliberate and well thought out if anything is to happen. In either case, power roles or not, Change could be more effective and less traumatic if those involved in them knew more about change dynamics—the principles, processes, people/roles involved, timing and patterns which accompany change. This manual intends to expose some of those dynamics so that leaders can be more deliberate in assessing the change they introduce.

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.

Isolation—A Place of Transformation in the Life of A Leader

Isolation—A Place of Transformation in the Life of A Leader

By Shelley Trebesch

This little manual is worth its weight in gold. 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.
