Lead His Church is the third volume in the powerful series of 4 books on the leadership of elders in the congregation written by James Estep, David Roadcup, and Gary Johnson.Lead His Church addresses the skills or competencies of an elder as a leader in the congregation and community. Chapter 1 "Looking Within" addresses the internal growth of a leader, especially as a learner, enabling the elder to become an effective teacher. The next two chapters "Looking Around" and "Looking Ahead" address two critical leadership skills for elders; decision making and strategic planning respectively. The much needed art of mentoring and discipling is explained in Chapter 4 "Taking under Wing", while the elder's ministry of shepherding and providing godly counsel is highlighted in Chapter 5 "Taking Alongside". The final chapter, "Taking to Task", explains the unfortunate necessiry of church discipline, an often neglected dimension of an elder's work.
