Publisher's Description
"The church of our Lord is like a body with Christ as the Head. Since only the Head is perfect, the body, which is the church, is subject to illness or disorderliness--just like a human body." The body of Christ is composed of people of diverse social, cultural, and spiritual maturity backgrounds, so friction amongst each other is most likely to occur. There is no such thing as a "trouble-free church" because all local churches are being led by people who have their own imperfections. In some cases, these leaders walk in Spirit with pure godly motives, while others are controlled by fleshly desires with selfish motives. The body of Christ needs godly human leaders to support and maintain its orderliness. The victory or failure of a church ministry depends on the church leaders' "character, maturity, mindset, and practices." This book gives the philosophies that every church leader should possess and offers biblical and practical solutions to some of the most common problems that every local church face, based on the many years of experience of the author.

“The Anatomy of Church Leaders is a must-read book especially for pastors and church leaders in our time. This is surely a much-needed encouragement to keep on moving forward to what the Lord has appointed us to do. I can see that Pastor Clavecilla wrote this book not just by his experience, but it is primarily in line with the truth from the Scriptures.”
“Whether you are a pastor or a lay worker, this book gives insight with biblical examples about the character of a godly leader. The author uses an example of Moses on how he had many excuses before the Lord, but God fully equipped Moses to become a great leader. Sometimes, we too can be like Moses with many excuses, but God provides instructions on how we need to lead others.”
“Profound, realistic, and excellent are how I would describe this book. It takes us into an in-depth analysis of what constitutes a church leader based on God’s word coupled with numerous practical applications and actual experiences to which every church leader could easily relate. It’s a must-read for every pastor, church leader, and every member of the body of Christ.”
