This book is an excellent, essential reference for all Christian leaders. It is not a book that can be read just once, but it is one that needs to be read again and again as it helps leaders to evaluate themselves continuously. I highly recommend this book as a companion for every person in a leadership position. The Most Rev. Dr. Mouneer Hanna Anis Archbishop, Episcopal Anglican Diocese of Egypt I cannot recommend this book highly enough for anyone in leadership. In an age which idolizes leadership and leadership books and formulae, this is refreshingly authentic. Terry is an insightful teacher and practitioner, rooted in Scripture and the need for the fruit of the Spirit and Christ-like character formation. Rt. Revd. Jill Duff, DPhil Anglican Bishop of Lancaster, UK With the skilled hindsight of a seasoned pastor, Terry draws on examples from his own ministry to illuminate the challenges leaders face, and he practically offers guidance which translates well across geographical and denominational divides. This is a book to which readers can return time and time again as they seek to discern God's vision and leading in their own context. Rev. Tracey Henry Presbyterian Church (USA) Drawing on his leadership experience, Terry has woven into this book biblical values that are core to any biblical leader. The life cycle of a leader locus makes it a global resource - an essential and relevant read for all pastors and leaders around the world! Finny Philip, PhD Principal, Filadelfia Bible College, Udaipur, India Entire libraries exist devoted to leadership, yet people who are successful at it can boil it down to a handful of fundamental behaviors. Terry has masterfully done this. Both a successful scholar and practitioner, Terry has reduced leadership to five essential practices. Modern society, as well as the church, is desperately clamoring for good leadership. This book will help. Richard Blackaby President of Blackaby Ministries International It is good to be reminded that being called to leadership is a responsibility which we are given only for a season - and that that season, if we are to be faithful stewards, calls for different approaches over its lifespan. Terry's book contains much biblical and practical wisdom for how we can start and end well in each responsibility that comes to us, growing and being prepared for the next season. Paul Harcourt National Leader, New Wine England Leadership is complex. Anyone who suggests otherwise has never led anything significant. This guide takes us through the process of leading well from arriving to leaving in five overlapping phases. Woven through with personal stories from his leadership in a church and seminary, reflection on biblical themes, and insights from contemporary authors, Terry acts as a wise companion on the journey. James Lawrence Leadership Principal, Church Pastoral Aid Society (CPAS) I am very grateful to have gotten to know Justyn Terry while attending a program at Oxford several years back. One who honours both people and results, Terry has led with integrity of heart and skilful hands. He is a safe leader who is competent, reliable and relational - a very rare combination! Rachel Ong CEO, ROHEI Corporation Justyn Terry's generous spirit and infectious confidence in God's power and equipping have led him to produce a book which will inspire faith and hope both in those who are setting out on the journey of leadership and those more experienced practitioners who want to see their own leadership sharpened and refreshed. Ian Parkinson Associate Archdeacon, Transition Enabler, Diocese of Sheffield, UK
