A hands-on resource for both large and small churches

It has been predicted that in the twenty-first century extremely large churches would emerge in America that resemble neither an elephant nor a field of mice. Which is better?

Even the Apostles of Jesus varied greatly in their approaches to leadership. Peter was a power house. James was a practical tactician. John was a lover. But in the end, leaders always make a difference. They see what needs to be done, and they do what needs to be done.

In this leadership primer Dave Browning, author of "Deliberate Simplicity," unpacks the specifics of "the seeing" that leaders see, and "the doing" that leaders do. While...
