The Hero Maker shows how to disciple leaders in a way that leads to leadership multiplication. It shows how to set up or improve intentional leadership development in a church of any size, how to find potential leaders, and how to disciple a church's existing leaders, both volunteer and staff, so catch a vision for their own replication.

Hit the Ground Kneeling takes common statements about leadership - statements that we often take for granted - and questions them in the light of Christian faith and Christian perspectives on leadership.

This practical guide helps readers to understand their talents and temperament and find the career or calling in which they can flourish. It takes a broad-ranging view of vocation to include all kinds of secular work, for people who are looking for personal fulfilment in what they do.
