Leaders in the church are called to be shepherds, not a board of directors. This requires involvement in a personal shepherding ministry among the people. The Shepherd Leader unpacks the four primary ministries of shepherds - knowing, feeding, leading, and protecting - on macro (churchwide) and micro (personal) levels, providing seven elements to be incorporated into an effective shepherding plan.

This book helped me to further feel the weight of the calling of the Undershepherd in the church. While, I don’t agree with all of the church membership focus of this book I do appreciate his view on micro and macro shepherding and the importance of it in the local church.

Very impactful study on shepherding!

The author does a great job of discussing the biblical role of elder and shows how lacking this approach is in the modern church. It lays out practical steps on returning to biblical eldership.

This is a necessary read for the Christian church

it's a little bit imaginative when considering such a supernatural problem. I enjoyed the direction to avoid treating sheep in the church like products, but most of the advice pastoral advice assumed the opposite.

very systematic
