Hearts, Heads, and Hands: A Manual for Teaching Others to Teach Others

by M. David Sills

Hearts, Heads, and Hands is the manifestation of a training method that missiologist, professor, and missions agency president, Dr. David Sills , has developed on the basis of decades of missions experience around the world. Tried, tested, and proven, Heads, Hearts, and Hands will equip those training pastors with the foundational information they must communicate to those God is calling to serve Him. The content is built around the method Dr. Sills developed to equip pastors with a a spiritual foundation (their “heart”), a biblical foundation (their “head”), and a methodological foundation (their “hands”), ensuring that they know how to rightly divide and teach God’s Word, understand the need to model the spiritual characteristics of a pastor, and have the practical tools necessary to lead and administer a local church.

Reviews

[Tim Franks · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a thorough and deeply helpful book for those going or on the mission field in contextualizing God's Word and the Gospel in a variety of different cultures. There is so much here and it was a great supplement to my Bible reading in my devotions over the past almost two years. I am sad about the fall of the author morally, but I gained a lot from this work. It covers so many different topics and ways of doing ministry in different culture.
