Shepherds of the Flock: Key Things Elders Can Do Now to Lead More Effectively

Shepherds of the Flock is intended to help equip fellow elders and elder chairmen with wisdom God has graciously given the author through the word, experience, and other godly people. Shepherds of the Flock is divided into three sections depending on where an individual is in their service as elder. The first section, "A Shepherd's Character," is the baseline biblical context for qualifications to serve as an elder and provides tips for serving. This section is a good reminder for an experienced elder and a good starting point for a new elder, perhaps serving for the first time. The second section, "A Shepherd's Work: Shepherding the Flock," is a challenge to focus on the 1 Peter 5:2 mandate to shepherd those in our congregations and provides some useful tools on how to do that effectively. The final section, "Shepherding the Shepherds," focuses on elders encouraging and shepherding fellow elders, whether in the role of chairman or as a co-laborer for the Lord. Anthony Tako's prayer is that this book, combined with the practical discussion guides at the end of each chapter, will be a useful equipping tool for the encouragement and effectiveness of elders and church leaders.
