This series of books is a much need in the library of those in church leadership. We are in need in this world today for bold pastors that are fully biblical in the way they lead the church. This specific book is addresses from Shepherd Conferences in the past years from great Christian pastors such as Ligon Duncan, Albert Mohler, Mark Dever, and of course John MacArthur. I think it can be a little repetitive at times, but overall a great and helpful work for all church leaders. I was challenged the most by the chapter on faithfully teaching God's Word week in and week out.

"The Shepherd as Leader" is a wonderful resource for pastors, elders, and leaders in the church today. Each chapter, though written by a different author, is well-crafted and easy to understand, and provides a godly challenge for leaders to rise up and lead as Christ himself led. The book is infused with scripture and solid exegesis, and it would be impossible to put down this book without having come to a deeper understanding of how God wants his church to be led.

I particularly enjoyed two of the chapters contained within the book. The first is the chapter "Hallowed Be Your Name", which provides a call to leaders to first and foremost lead on their knees. The chapter opens with statistics that remind us that many pastors and leaders today admit to putting very little time and attention to praying, which is the exact opposite of the example Jesus left for us! While reading this chapter, I too found myself feeling convicted that I need to make prayer more of a priority in my own life, because it is through prayer that God first and foremost changes lives. I also enjoyed the chapter "Guarding the Gospel", particularly the challenge in the section "Who Will You Please?" which talks about the difficulty we all face in wrestling with the question of seeking the favor of men or of God. As the news headlines so often scream today, the truth of the gospel continues to run up against political correctness, and it is becoming ever more unpopular to share God's views on issues like human sexuality and marriage. A chapter like this one reminds us that, with love and grace, we need to stand on God's truth and guard the gospel, no matter the cost.

If you are a pastor or a leader of any kind in the church, I encourage you to pick up a copy of this book and allow yourself to be challenged in your role as leader. I award this book a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

I am often not a fan of compilation books - however I have found this book very helpful. Highlights were Piper on "A leader Who Suffers Well", Dever on "Opposition and Hope", Lawson om "Guarding the Gospel", Mohler "No Little People, No Little Sermons", Duncan on "What is Missing From Your Church" and MacArthur on "Fostering Fellowship". These chapters have ministered to my soul significantly and helped me keep my eyes on the Lord and His word. I highly commend this book to all church leaders and pastors, in fact anyone wanting to encourage the work of the Lord in their home church.

Some great sermons for pastors on traits that a pastor should have, as well as things that ought to be done in the church.
