R. Scott Pace & Jim Shaddix, Expositional Leadership: Shepherding God’s People From the Pulpit (Wheaton: Crossway Books, 2024), 148 pp.
Shepherding the people of God is a multi-faceted task. Pastors are called upon to lead, feed, love, and protect the people of God. R. Scott Pace and Jim Shahddix understand this weighty responsibility and have set forth a remarkable book that will encourage elders to carry out their God-given task.
Expositional Leadership is designed to shepherd church members with authority and integrity. The book is arranged in six chapters, each of which is centered around the pulpit. The themes include:
- Scriptural Leadership
- Spiritual Leadership
- Strategic Leadership
- Servant Leadership
- Situational Leadership
- Sensible Leadership
Each theme includes biblical encouragement and admonition for pastors that intend to fulfill the goal of expositional leadership. The term is defined as follows:
Expositonal leadership is the pastoral process of shepherding God’s people through the faithful exposition of his word to conform them to the image of his Son by the power of the Spirit.
My hope is that pastors make good use of the principles in this timely book. May expositional leadership help shape the next generation of Christ-followers!
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.
