Böcker av Keith Farmer

An essential book for everyone in Christian leadership of any kind."This book is both edifying and profoundly disturbing.

Whether you are just starting out in Christian leadership or a veteran leader of 30 years, it casts a compelling vision for how to re-shape your leadership in ways which are sustainable and Christ-centred. Grounded in rich stories of the disciples' encounters with the radical Rabbi, it invites us to overturn almost everything we have learned about authority, position, power and influence, calling us, instead, to follow in the footsteps of the Radical Rabbi."Sarah Whitehead, Graduate School Manager, Australian College of Ministries.'This book will equip leaders to emerge stronger, wiser and more resilient."Dr. Mark Connor, Pastor, Speaker and Mentor

It shines a light on the dysfunctional leadership trends that have infiltrated the contemporary church in recent times and points the way forward for personal and corporate reform." (Dr. Dennis Nutt, Associate Professor of History, Sydney College of Divinity.) "Kevin and Keith have served the church so wonderfully in this challenging and inspiring book. They have convincingly exposed the failure of the CEO model of church leadership and profoundly put before us the servant model of the One who gave his life for us. I found myself prayerfully seeking the transforming work of the Spirit in my own life and ministry as I read, that I might grow in the likeness of Jesus day by day. This will be a significant book for all pastors to read and I pray it will have a great impact on the future leadership of the church." (The Right Reverend Mark Calder, Bishop of Bathurst, the Anglican Church of Australia.)

The 21st century is a uniquely challenging time for the church in Australia. Unprecedented change has resulted in leaders having to navigate constantly shifting dynamics and expectations. The result is that we are seeing burnout occur in our experienced leaders with alarming frequency. Keith draws upon his experience as a Christian teacher and mentor to explore the deeper issues contributing to this problem and to offer clear and practical solutions. Brave and passionate testimonies from key Australian leaders show that going deeper to go further opens the possibility of not only health and sustainability in ongoing ministry, but also greater impact for the Kingdom of God."This is the book Christian leaders need right now." - Dr Rick Lewis, author of 'Mentoring Matters' and founder of 'Anamcara Consultancy'.
