This book is like sitting over coffee with a friend and chatting about youth and children's work. It is funny, gentle, kind, challenging and full of wisdom. I couldn't put it down! It has become a permanent feature on my desk so that I can dip back in for more ideas and inspiration. Tim carefully guides us through understanding youth culture, church, leadership, strategy and most-importantly, the prioritisation of young people. This is an important book for youth and children's work in our time., Leadership 101 is a book I wish had been written when I was starting out. It is packed full of practical wisdom and insight. So, so helpful. A must read for anyone involved in youth and children's ministry, but also a great resource for anyone who aspires to be an effective leader., There are books on leadership you know you're supposed to read, and then there are books on leadership that you must read. This is one such book. It's loaded with sharp wisdom and enduring encouragement fresh from the trenches of what it actually means to pastor and lead young people . . . Passionate, provocative and profoundly actionable, this book is a gift for everyone who shares God's heart for the emerging generations to know Life in all its fullness., Practical, accessible, engaging & packed full of wisdom. This book is an absolute must read for anyone in youth and children's ministry., Tim is an outstanding leader and person. He models what he teaches and carries such an authority in the youth ministry community with humility and grace. This excellent book is packed full of practical, lived out wisdom. . . Like the best books this is not meant to be read alone but in community, so read it with others, apply the wisdom in its pages and let's see our youth ministries fly and flourish!, Tim is the real deal - an outstanding kingdom leader with a huge depth of insight. I've learned so much from journeying with him and I've no doubt you will too as you read through this book that's crammed with practical wisdom., Tim Alford has learnt these lessons not in the classroom but in the hurly-burly, heart breaking, inspiring world of Christian leadership. It's required reading for every leader who wants to leave a legacy of fired up leaders who totally follow Jesus. Is there really anything more important than that?

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
