The Shepherd Leader

Achieving Effective Shepherding in Your Church

By: Timothy Z. Witmer

Narrated by: Mike Chamberlain

Leaders in the church are called to be shepherds, not a board of directors. This requires involvement in a personal shepherding ministry among the people. The Shepherd Leader unpacks the four primary ministries of shepherds - knowing, feeding, leading, and protecting - on macro (churchwide) and micro (personal) levels, providing seven elements to be incorporated into an effective shepherding plan.

Very impactful study on shepherding!

This book helped me to further feel the weight of the calling of the Undershepherd in the church. While, I don’t agree with all of the church membership focus of this book I do appreciate his view on micro and macro shepherding and the importance of it in the local church.

Excellent book on eldership in the church

Very good, thorough, biblical understanding and practical application of the office of elder in the Protestant church.

This is a necessary read for the Christian church

The author does a great job of discussing the biblical role of elder and shows how lacking this approach is in the modern church. It lays out practical steps on returning to biblical eldership.

very systematic

it's a little bit imaginative when considering such a supernatural problem. I enjoyed the direction to avoid treating sheep in the church like products, but most of the advice pastoral advice assumed the opposite.
