This book helps pastors and church leaders understand the role their personal transformation as Jesus's disciples plays in effective congregational leadership. It shifts the focus of leadership from techniques and charisma to spiritual transformation and developing emotional maturity so leaders can effectively lead congregations to embrace change. End-of-chapter discussion questions are included. The first edition sold more than 20,000 copies and has been regularly used as a textbook over the past fifteen years. The second edition has been revised throughout and includes a greater emphasis on Bowen Family Systems Theory.

The Leader's Journey calls pastors and congregational leaders to undertake the lifelong journey of personal transformation as Jesus's disciples, providing a foundation for leading change in the congregations they serve. The second edition has been revised throughout and includes a greater emphasis on Bowen Family Systems Theory.

"My first edition of this book is well worn and has been frequently recommended and assigned. I didn't think it could get better, but with the new updates and revisions, The Leader's Journey will prove even more transformational for pastors and leaders of all kinds. The change you want to see out there begins with you, and this is a perfect place to start."
--Chuck DeGroat, Western Theological Seminary

"Not every book demands a second edition--The Leader's Journey does. This new edition demonstrates that a 'living system' challenges everyone to continue to learn, observe, manage, and act. Herrington, Taylor, and Creech expand on the importance of engagement that encourages calm and clarity in leadership. The book addresses the crucial aspects of relationships in family settings and faith communities and stresses the importance of spiritual disciplines and a relationship with God as 'the center of gravity that keeps our lives in balance.' This is not an item for your bookshelf but a living, breathing companion for everyday use."
--Emlyn A. Ott, executive director, Healthy Congregations, Inc.; Bexley Seabury Seminary, Chicago

"In this lucid and well-written book, three of the most respected church leaders of our generation place in our hands a guide to Christian transformation. Walking with Christ is an ongoing journey, necessitating the courage of our convictions and the courage to challenge those convictions. The Leader's Journey advocates for personal and congregational change with a clear vision for the expansion and fulfillment of God's promises."
--Caleb O. Oladipo, Campbell University Divinity School; senior fellow of Baptist Scholars International Roundtable
