The First Handbook for Church Leaders For Timothy, pastoring the church in Ephesus was an overwhelming responsibility. So Paul wrote to encourage him in his faith and affirm his leadership and abilities. He also gave Timothy some guidelines for choosing leaders from within the congregation to help in ministry. These guidelines provide today's churches with the most thorough instruction for selecting strong, godly leaders. And they offer help for today's Christians wanting to grow as leaders in the church.

I don't like books like this, because they ask SO MANY questions that are totally obvious that it's annoying. For Example: (This is not an actual example, but this is just a type of question that is frequent) Read I Timothy 3 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous Question 1: What are some qualities that need to be present in a bishop's life? _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ Questions like this are totally worthless in my mind. A 1st grader could just repeat what they just read. It doesn't make you think at all, and questions like that are simply annoying. This book does this too much, but it also has a lot of really good questions. There are enough really good questions for me to list it as 4 stars, but it's not a solid 4... more like a 3.2 rounded up.
