Publisher's Description
Over the next five to ten years, it's predicted that more than 50,000 strategic ministry leadership positions are going to be filled. Who will these leaders be? And more importantly, who will prepare them for these positions? Mentoring Leaders offers a unique angle on what it takes to prepare transformational leaders for today's church. While addressing the different phases of leadership development and mentoring, as well as the characteristics of a dynamic and effective leader, Carson Pue focuses on the element of spiritual development. The invaluable insights and wisdom found in this book will give emerging leaders new strength to follow their calling as it helps them sharpen their vision, shape their values, and share their leadership adventures.

“If you are a leader, and if you desire to help develop other leaders for both today and tomorrow, this is a must read! The biblical principles unfolded by Carson, along with his vast experience, will prove to be a fantastic aid to your own growth and effectiveness, not to mention the growth of your colleagues, team, and those in whom you are able to invest. Carson will sharpen the arrow of your own life and leadership and help you make sure you are on target for leading a life worth sharing!”
“If you have never had a mentor—but, always wanted one—get this book and read it word for word and cover to cover. A book cannot be a mentor, but this one comes from a mentor’s heart with a mentor’s style. Then use the book as a guide as you begin the exciting process of mentoring others.”
“Carson Pue’s Mentoring Leaders is not only the source of sound, practical help for mentoring future Christian leaders, but what stands out for me is that, unlike several other books on this topic I have seen, it is thoroughly biblical and theologically sound. It focuses on the character, calling, and spiritual development of the leader, not just his or her competence. I also like the fact that it is ‘inclusive’—a much needed corrective in our chauvinistic world.”
“I know no one better prepared to think and write on the topic of mentoring than Carson Pue. Gladly I commend this book, because to Carson Pue mentoring has evangelistic impact. A mentored leader with a heart for the lost will move thousands toward the kingdom.”
“This book is filled with truth that can ripple down the generations until Jesus comes. The information on self-awareness alone is worth more than you have paid to read it. It is a book that can change you. But better yet, God can use the insight and inspiration in these pages to change others through you! Can you think of anything better than that?”
“Carson Pue understands that developing men and women for leadership is more than passing on skill-based information. In seeking to shape another person’s heart, Carson, throughout these pages, gives you his own heart.”
“The world today, and the church in particular, face a crisis of leadership. This is why Carson Pue’s new book is so important. Leaders are needed in all walks of life, but few people have taken as much effort as Pue to think through the complex issue of mentoring the next generation. I heartily recommend this book”
“Mentoring Leaders is one of the more insightful books on mentoring emerging leaders. Since intentional mentoring is the key, Carson’s purposeful mentoring model makes a significant contribution.”
“Carson Pue is one of the most thoughtful advocates of mentoring for Christian leaders. He does it well. And he has a pulse on what it takes to equip others for the task. Please read his book.”
“Read this slowly with a pen and journal at your side. The concepts are invigorating and practical, this is the best of instruction for leaders on the job.”
“I’ve had only one regret knowing Carson Pue: that I don’t know him better. And I’ve had only one disappointment spending time with him: that I couldn’t spend more. Carson is a leader’s leader and a mentor’s mentor, and now—finally— he’s captured on paper, available to all, his insights in both areas. This book unfolds like a season of long chats with a man of great grace and deep wisdom.”
“Drawing on years of mentoring work with well-known global leaders and emerging leaders alike, Carson Pue writes insightfully about the practical and spiritual matters that all Christian leaders need to consider. Carson anchors it all in the importance of a life of personal devotion and prayer, paired with a relentless desire to pursue God’s vision and enhance the gifts he has invested in you.”
“I read a sign outside a garden center: ‘The best time to plant a tree was twenty-five years ago; the second best time is today.’ I wish I had read Carson’s book twenty-five years ago when I started in the ministry, but thank God I read it today. It has planted so many sacred seeds into my mind and heart that can only produce good fruit.”
