Description

Do you want to be a better leader? Raise the threshold of your pain. Do you want your church to grow or your business to reach higher goals? Reluctance to face pain is your greatest limitation. There is no growth without change, no change without loss, and no loss without pain. Bottom line: if you're not hurting, you're not leading.

But this book is not a theological treatise on pain. Rather in Leadership Pain Samuel Chand—best-selling author recognized as "the leader's leader"—provides a concrete, practical understanding of the pain we experience to help us interpret pain more accurately and learn the lessons God has in it for us.

Chand is ruthlessly honest and highly practical as he examines the principles and practices that make our pain a means of fulfilling God's divine purposes for our churches, communities, and us. These features are included in this leadership treasure trove:

POWERFUL, personal stories from some of the finest leaders in the world, such as Craig Groeschel, Benny Perez, Mike Kai, Lisa Bevere, Mark Chironna, Dale Bronner, Philip Wagner, Michael Pitts, and numerous others

REVEALING INSIGHTS into the growth that occurs through pain in leadership roles

PRACTICAL EXERCISES to help you apply the valuable principles you are learning

    Excellent book. The last three years of ministry had been an extremely difficult and painful to endure. The author hits the nail on the head of what it takes to press on and know God is up to something. He is developing a leader in the midst of your pain and travail.

    This book is honest and truthful. It gives you the insight to the experience of a pastor and the difficulties that come along. But it reminds you of whom we are serving at all times in all areas of our lives. Easy read. Beautifully written. Vulnerable.

    This book was the perfect recommendation for me, at a time in my professional life when I needed to push my pain threshold. I am teacher in an urban public school setting that fell victim to burnout and numbness. Sam articulated tools and solutions in the book that were vitally important to my perspective change. God's hope for us is so real, I had lost sight of that. This book was validation for God's mission for me and the idea that suffering is part of the deal. Thank you Sam!
