Elders and Leaders

Our Elders are going through thus right now. Its and easy read. A must have for leadership.

Great book examining the biblical teaching on church governance. Solid in both its biblical insights and practical observations. Getz brings his experience as a life-long student of the Bible and as a seasoned church planter and leader and delivers us an insightful, useful, wise, and challenging vision of what the Bible tells us about church leadership. I found his chronological walk through the NT development of church leadership to be thought provoking - especially as he drew out points related to what would be cultural and what would be supracultural (and why). I appreciated the personal anecdotes that illustrated the points he was making - they were not heavy handed or artificial and reflected a simple, humble wisdom.I highly recommend this book to any church planter or other student of what biblical church leadership can and should look like.

Getz' teaching on Biblical Eldership includes all the scriptures and materials that other authors use and he does an excellent job just as others have done. What separates this book from others is an adequate explanation of leadership within the plurality of eldership. He explores and explains the teaching pastor as a servant leader within the plurality of elders (pastors) in a church. I have read almost everything available on church government and Getz's book most clearly lays out government like the New Testament Church. Others I have read fall short, in some respect, of covering the whole story. Also, after doing a little research on the qualifications of Mr. Getz, he has a vast history of helping the church toward good fruit. Do a google on Gene A. Getz, you'll be surprised at the life's work and fruit. I heartily recommend the book. It was just what I needed at just the right time.

I purchased the books for someone else, so I cannot speak for its content. However, each book came perfect. They were all packaged well and came when they were supposed to.

Gene gives a very biblical assessment of the subject of elders and other leaders within the Church, the Body of Christ

This is a must read for anyone seeking to understand biblical eldership from someone who has practiced it for decades. Additionally, it is not just the product of HIS work, but the plurality of elders with whom he serves.

Very helpful book on church eldership. Makes a decent handbook.

excellent book for training

Excellent coverage and useful personal accounts of things which they tried but did not work as well as those which did. Recommend.
