Transforming Pastors presents fifty-two Bible-immersed, field-tested, discussion-welcoming, one-page handouts that offer spiritual guidance through the labyrinth of leadership. This manual draws attention to abiding and weighty themes for both emerging and seasoned leaders.
Transforming Pastors escorts you through the twists and turns of leadership to the center of ministry and returns you to a world that God so loves. There are no shortcuts. Stay on the ordained path with discipline and patience and you will experience amazing grace every step of the way.
Each topic in this leadership manual can be considered individually or, better yet, discussed in a small group setting (e.g., with a clergy small group, church staff, elder board, missions team, etc.). Either way, be prepared to reflect upon and respond to the path of Transforming Pastors.

"Pastor Steve Robbins is a pastor's pastor. This manual will help pastors and leadership staff to hear the voice of God--for guidance, instruction, and inspiration." -- Ray Ochoa, Prison Chaplain
"I have had the privilege of working through many of these handouts in a monthly meeting of fellow pastors. This is a goldmine of valuable teaching material." -- Tim Walton, Senior Pastor
"In powerful and memorable ways these studies portray authentic ministry as a matter of faithfulness and fruitfulness. I've found peace restored and joy nourished in a vision of ministry that flows out of a walk with Christ and my identity in him." -- Mike Woodcock, Senior Pastor
