Hero Maker

Five Essential Practices for Leaders to Multiply Leaders

By: Dave Ferguson, Warren Bird, J. D. Greear - introduction

Narrated by: Mark Smeby, John Behrens, Gabe Wicks

In Hero Maker, you will learn how to bring real change to your church and community by developing the practical skills to help others reach their leadership potential.

Drawing on five powerful practices found in the ministry of Jesus, Hero Maker presents the key steps of apprenticeship that will build up other leaders and provide strategies for how you can:

• activate the gifts of those around you
• help others take ownership of their mission
• develop a simple scorecard for measuring your kingdom-building progress

With rich insights from the Gospels, Hero Maker is packed with real-life ministry stories ranging from paid staff to volunteer leaders--from established churches to new church plants.

Whether you lead ten people or ten thousand, Hero Maker will not only help you maximize your leadership impact; but, in doing so, you will also help shift today's church culture to a model of reproduction and multiplication.

Chicago pastor and church planter Dave Ferguson and award-winning writer Warren Bird make a compelling case that God's power and purpose are best revealed when we train and release others to further advance the Kingdom of God.

By becoming a hero maker and investing in others, you can join a movement of influencers that are impacting thousands of people around the world.

Everybody wants to be a hero, but few understand the power of being a hero maker.

A well read and interesting book on how to grow the Kingdom of God

This book lays out a clear way to grow not just a church, but The Church of God. Many concepts are presented in easy to understand and apply methods. The included odd documents are helpful visuals along the way.
This book was recommended to me by my church’s staff. I recommend this book to those who feel called to plant a church, as this will expand your vision and provide practical ideas to apply to that expanded vision.

a slow draw

the overall message was really great and well-thought-out.as a great idea as how to approach this strategy but I felt like it took a little bit longer then it should have to really close up the book

Potentially life changing

I have felt God’s calling on my life that there was greater out there, but didn’t know what or how to achieve it. This book filled in a bunch of gaps. It also provided practical steps to accomplish it.

Every Leader Needs To Hear

A simple but challenging message that inspires and gives practical advice on how to invest in people to expand the kingdom of God.

Hero Maker

the authors have a good approach and the ideas in the book are good but a little vague.
