{"product_id":"9781433690228","title":"Designed to Lead: The Church and Leadership Development","description":"\u003ci\u003eMost churches merely exist.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Many churches do not develop leaders intentionally and consistently. When leaders emerge from some churches, it is often by accident. Something is missing. Something is off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Authors \u003cb\u003eEric Geiger\u003c\/b\u003e (author of bestselling \u003ci\u003eSimple Church\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCreature of the Word\u003c\/i\u003e) and \u003cb\u003eKevin Peck\u003c\/b\u003e argue that churches that consistently produce leaders have a strong \u003ci\u003econviction\u003c\/i\u003e to develop leaders, a healthy \u003ci\u003eculture\u003c\/i\u003e for leadership development, and helpful \u003ci\u003econstructs\u003c\/i\u003e to systematically and intentionally build leaders. All three are essential for leaders to be formed through the ministry of a local church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the first recordings of history God has made it clear that He has designed creation to be led by His covenant people. More than that, He has decided what His people are to do with that leadership. Whether you are called to lead your home, in the marketplace, in God’s church, or in your community, if you are called by God you are called to lead others to worship the glory of God in Jesus Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGod has designed His people to lead.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"B\u0026H Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141854314736,"sku":"9781433690228","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433690228_p0.jpg?v=1763752416","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433690228","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
