This book provides a model, based on Paul's letter to the church in Philippi, to help pastors lead in a manner that brings lasting change and maturity to congregational members. The project addresses the need for pastors to move beyond a transactional mindset to a transformational approach to leadership, and it provides a model for them to follow. Tim Gregory grounds the call to transformational leadership in a close reading of Paul, drawing out multiple dimensions of what that leadership should strive to develop in a faith community.

lt;b>Tim Gregory has served in pastoral ministry for the past 23 years, the last 18 of which as the senior pastor of Family Worship Center in Santa Fe, TX. Tim holds a PhD in organization leadership with a concentration in ecclesial leadership. He has led teams around the world ministering to pastors and church leaders in countries such as Cambodia, Niger, Tanzania, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, and the Philippines.
