It speaks to the character and heart of the leader. After all, heart makes the difference in an effective Sunday-school teacher, youth minister, elder, small-group leader, parent, grandparent, or Christian school teacher. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Spiritual sheep, stray sheep, and searching sheep aren't nearly as concerned about the knowledge and skill of the shepherd as they are about his heart. When finding their way -- at weddings, at funerals, during family crises, and in the hospital -- sheep go to a shepherd in whom they discern God's own heart, like King David of old. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jesus said sheep would know their shepherd's voice and be drawn to it. It is the heart behind the voice that soothes and comforts God's people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e How do you measure the influence of a godly shepherd? Without doubt, it's the heart of the shepherd that most powerfully shapes lives and souls in our flocks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e If you want your own heart shaped and molded into the likeness of Christ, this book is an excellent place to begin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eBe shepherds of God's flock under your care... as God wants you to be.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Heeding the call to be a leader is an awesome responsibility. Whether you have been called to serve as a minister or you're teaching an adult Bible study group or you're a teen leading the youth group in song, most assuredly from time to time you question your abilities and look for support and example. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Author Lynn Anderson addresses the starting and ending place of true leadership among God's people: the heart of a shepherd. He presents Jesus, the Head Shepherd, as our only reliable model of godly leadership; he guides us through the Scriptures and gives us practical exercises to strengthen our hearts as we do the difficult yet rewarding work of shepherding people of God with love and grace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Enter the book's pages with the confidence that you are being led by someone who has the heart of a shepherd and who sees himself first as a smelly sheep, dearly loved and led by the Good Shepherd. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eAnd when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory. -- 1 Peter 5:4\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynn Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e has been in the ministry for over thirty-five years and currently serves as president of Hope Network, a ministry dedicated to coaching, mentoring, and equipping spiritual leaders for the twenty-first century.
