As an elder, are you living a holy life?

Reflect His Character is the second of four short volumes in the powerful series of 4 books on the leadership of elders in the congregation written by James Estep, David Roadcup, and Gary Johnson.

This volume addresses the character of an elder as a leader in the congregation and community.  Chapter 1 asserts the necessity of a Christian mind among the eldership; one that has been transformed by Christ and no longer conforms to the world's pattern.  Chapter 2 addresses the spiritual lives of elders, asking them to reflect a growing relationship with God, with Chapter 3 addressing one key element of spiritual life, prayer.  Chapter 4 is on protecting one's character with recommendations on how to avoid burnout or spiritual and moral failure, while Chapter 5 addresses restoring one's character and the character of others, with an emphasis on cinfidentiality among the eldership.  The final chapter discusses the value and importance of having elders accountable to other elders, spiritually and pastorally.

“I’m anxious for each of our elders to read this series and talk about the implications. These books will truly be used of God to equip our congregational leaders to be ready for the role they have been assigned. But as the authors remind us, transformation of our elders must begin individually in the heart of each.

I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in mind to transform our churches throughout this series of books. I’ve known Jim Estep, David Roadcup, and Gary Johnson for years. Their integrity makes the lessons and insights come alive even more. A huge thank you for tackling a topic we all think we know so much about and yet I feel that, through these publications, we will be given the knowledge to help open the door to the great power of scriptural eldership.”
