Synopsis

Living and Leading Well is the second book in the Well Trilogy that also includes Starting Well, for younger emerging leaders, and Finishing Well, for older experienced leaders. Living and Leading Well is designed to help you build a strong foundation which can stand the weight and pressures of mid-life while helping prepare you to finish well and establish a lasting legacy. Our vision in writing Living and Leading Well is to provide Biblically based insights, strategies, and resources to help mid-life "ministers" (whether they minister in the context of the church, marketplace, or other social settings) navigate the challenges that come with getting older, raising kids, and adjusting goals to the realities of mid-life. The goals of this book include: 1. Providing an overview of the leadership "landscape" of mid-life so that you can anticipate challenges and opportunities in order to cooperate with God in his purposes. 2. Providing Biblical insight and opportunities to examine your spiritual formation foundation using the I Timothy 1: 5 Principle to evaluate potential "cracks" in your foundation that can lead to burnout, blowout, or plateauing. 3. Ministering to your inner life as well as provide information about life and leadership purpose through mid-life. 4. Providing Biblical and real life insights and examples for navigating the challenges and embracing the opportunities of mid-life growth and ministry as you prepare yourself to finish well in life and leadership. It is our desire that Living and Leading Well will be a blessing to you. Far too many leaders today are loosing their way in mid-life. This does not have to happen to you! We trust that God will meet you in the pages of this book and that your "strength will be renewed" and that you will better be able to "fight the good fight" so that someday you will stand before God and hear, "Well done... good and faithful servant!"
