Publisher's Description
Do you want to be a better leader? Raise the threshold of your pain. Do you want your church to grow or your business to reach higher goals? Reluctance to face pain is your greatest limitation. There is no growth without change, no change without loss, and no loss without pain. Bottom line: if you're not hurting, you're not leading. But this book is not a theological treatise on pain. Rather in Leadership Pain Samuel Chand—best-selling author recognized as "the leader's leader"—provides a concrete, practical understanding of the pain we experience to help us interpret pain more accurately and learn the lessons God has in it for us. Chand is ruthlessly honest and highly practical as he examines the principles and practices that make our pain a means of fulfilling God's divine purposes for our churches, communities, and us. These features are included in this leadership treasure trove: POWERFUL, personal stories from some of the finest leaders in the world, such as Craig Groeschel, Benny Perez, Mike Kai, Lisa Bevere, Mark Chironna, Dale Bronner, Philip Wagner, Michael Pitts, and numerous others REVEALING INSIGHTS into the growth that occurs through pain in leadership roles PRACTICAL EXERCISES to help you apply the valuable principles you are learning

“Growth, is essential for every leader! We only wish we had read it 25 years ago when we pioneered our church. If you want to stop the bleeding, experience God’s healing and relight your love for leading, this is the book you’ve been praying for––it could quite possibly add decades to your leadership!”
“Dr. Sam Chand observes that leaders can only rise to the level of their pain threshold. Pain affects everyone differently, though all experience it. In his book Dr. Chand expertly, systematically, thoughtfully, and caringly addresses the anguish of pain and the lessons we learn from it. Read this book, and you will be a better leader.”
Bishop. MICHAEL S. PITTS
“Dr. Chand is one of the most astute minds I know. With profound yet simple wisdom, he unpacks the complex issues of life and empowers you with the tools to succeed. This book is loaded with wisdom and personal experiences of some of the most powerful people. It lets the reader know: “You’re not alone, and there’s actually life after this.” My greatest lesson from this book is that this undeniable pain is my indicator of growth. This is an awesome book, and at my church it will certainly be a required read!”
“the pain and miss the message.”
Dr. DAVE MARTIN
“I have always said that different leaders should read different books. I was wrong. Every leader needs this book. Pain will come to every leader, and when it does, this book will be a sure and true help. Sam Chand is a sage voice of wisdom in a noisy world of buzz, and his wisdom here will sustain you during the hard times.”
“This book packs a punch. It speaks truth. Behind the humor and witty aphorisms lies a vein of inescapable truth that those who have been in leadership know all too well—leadership is painful. Pain is the leader’s rite of passage. Every level of leadership growth comes with pain. Dr. Sam Chand challenges me. He is my sharpening iron. His genuineness. His questions. His intellect. His spirit. His testimony. He inspires me both in and out of the pulpit, to become a better person and leader. Allow him to inspire you too. Leadership Pain is a book for the journey. It is good medicine for every leader who’s felt isolated, misunderstood, or betrayed. Here you’ll find wisdom and strength as you pursue leadership growth and effectiveness. Read it before there’s any pain. Rehearse it when there’s pain. Recommend it after the pain.”
“of leadership and the fact that great destiny is always accompanied by great adversity. This book is an excellent tool for leaders who need to know how to navigate the challenges of their leadership world.”
“In over twenty-four years of ministry leadership, we have never read a book that so clearly communicates the need to identify and work through the pain of leadership. Having known Dr. Chand for fourteen years as a consultant for our ministry, we know firsthand that the wisdom he shares can catapult leaders into their next levels of greatness. We are so excited to be able to share this book with our church leadership and business owners connected to our ministry.”
