"""Productive Leadership is focused on the work and ministry of the smaller church. Spore has spent his lifetime of ministry in such settings and knows well their joys and challenges. His book is, as one might expect, quite practical, offering charts and exercises by which any church can discern its strengths and weaknesses and discover ways it might improve its ministries as effective answers to the call of God. . . . Spore roots all of his examinations of the ins and outs of leadership deeply in the biblical text, referring again and again to Scripture in the attempt to ground his very practical suggestions. . . . Read this book, one I wish I had had during my own church ministry. Perhaps I could have avoided some of those terrible mistakes I made in my headlong dash to grow the church, rather than make disciples. If you remain confused about the difference between those two things, Roy Spore's fine work can help to set you straight."" --John C Holbert, Lois Craddock Perkins Professor emeritus of Homiletics, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University"
