An overseer...must be above reproach.1 Timothy 3:2

Scripture holds leaders and teachers of the Word to an incredibly high standard. And for good reason. Shepherding God's children into salvation is an enormous responsibility. Even more now than ever, today's church needs great leaders who faithfully proclaim the Word of God and equip believers to live it out. But great leaders need great role models.

Bestselling author John MacArthur has compiled, from the internationally renowned Shepherd's Conference hosted at Grace community Church, the best-ever messages for Christian leaders—now available in a single volume. Alongside MacArthur's candid, instructive writings you'll find the works of other proven ministry leaders, such as John Piper, Steven Lawson, RC Sproul, Ligon Duncan, and Al Mohler.

Whether you're a pastor, elder, or leader in your church, or someone wanting to be more effective in your spiritual leadership, you will learn to...

• guide others with integrity and conviction
• deliver God's Word with passion and power
• accurately interpret and apply God's Word

When you accept the challenge to be a leader who is above reproach both in ministry and personally, you will become better equipped to fulfill your calling to lead with excellence.
