Solid advice from an experienced mentor

Christian leadership is noble work, but it is also a daunting
Church / Leadership responsibility. Leaders often struggle to understand how
the Spirit is working through their ministry. Mentoring
Matters looks at how leaders can maximize their potential
so that they can thrive in ministry. Author Rick Lewis goes
beyond the issues of basic leadership skills to address lead-
ers’ personal needs—their spirituality, emotional health,
key relationships, vulnerabilities, and rhythms of life.
