How to Survive (and thrive) as a Church Leader
A practical handbook on dealing with the difficult issues that face every church leader.

In �How to Survive and Thrive as a Church Leader�, Nick Cuthbert, in a pithy, spare, but extremely readable writing style, provides a practical hand book on dealing with the difficult issues that face every church leader at some point during their ministry. It is written as a result of the authors own recent struggles after many years of successful, fruitful ministry, in a humble style but with great authority. He combines both scriptural application and the best of current business thinking on leadership.

Each chapter is fairly short, succinct, and with very good use of illustrations (you know you�re reading a preacher!). He makes his key point quickly, expands the discussion (including helpful, practical suggestions) and then narrows it down again to the key point of the chapter in the last paragraph. This is then followed by simple, focussed questions for the reader to apply what he has learnt to his own situation.

Topics addressed include: Finding significance in God, combating busyness, regret, playing to strengths, putting family first, sexual integrity, prioritising, envy, forgiveness, devotional life, fads and fashions, handling difficult people, perspective, team building, dealing with loss, nature and handling of stress, avoiding burnout.

"Personally, I am a sucker for books on leadership but amongst the many I have read, this one is a jewel. Nick Cuthbert is honest, practical and humorous. He writes with deep insight from a wealth of personal experience. The book is full of up to date and relevant illustrations and realistic suggestions. I shall return to his main principles often."
John Irvine, Dean of Coventry

"Leaders will quickly identify with this book. I was immediately intrigued by the title and captured before the end of the first chapter. It is honest, real and releasing and flies in the face of today�s super-ministry - no problems culture."
Stuart Bell
