Description
Coaching is a hot topic today. No longer just a word for the
athletic arena, a personal coach can guide us in many areas of
life. Dr. Gary R. Collins has taken the successful principles of
coaching and given them a God-centered application for our lives
and the church. Through stories, insights, and interviews with
influential coaches, Collins gives us a model of Christian
coaching that inspires vision, passion, and a sense of purpose.
Christian Coaching demonstrates the characteristics of an
effective coach, how to incorporate those characteristics into
one’s life, and how to coach and lead others with the same
leadership style Jesus demonstrated: servant leadership.
Second addition not available until September 2009.
