VALLEY FORGE, PA (2/15/17)—Many of us know that Jesus asked many intentional questions in his ministry, questions intended to teach, guide, and encourage his followers. Using a similar approach, in their new release, 8 Questions Jesus Asked: Discipleship for Leaders, authors Daniel M. Cash and William H. Griffith focus on eight powerful questions from the Gospels, and examine how leaders can grow spiritually as disciples of Christ.
Focusing on the areas of leadership and discipleship, 8 Questions Jesus Asked draws on the best of biblical scholarship and the wisdom of today’s leadership coaching practices. Cash and Griffith use real ministry situations to help individuals examine their faith journey and glean practical insights to:
• Develop and improve leadership skills
• Respond to daily ministry challenges
• Engage the constant change church leaders face in their communities and the world
Designed specifically for spiritual development in small-group settings, this book is ideal for an 8-week study. It includes an appendix of additional resources for coaching and individual study. 8 Questions Jesus Asked is a transformative guide for leaders and for newer disciples who want to grow in their leadership callings.
