Mentored by Dr. John Maxwell in the 1980's while both were on staff at Skyline Church,San Diego CA, theycurrently share ministry teamwork through Dr. Maxwell's INJOY organization based in Atlanta.Tim has written several prior books, including the excellentSoul Provider. He is highly sought out as a discipler of church,ministry,missions and business leaders. He writes and speaks withpassion,expertise, yet humble acknowledgement of his true sourceof insight: the Lord Jesus Christ through Biblical principles.This book takes a step back from church/business leadership and asks "How are things at home?" If the successful principles thatare so effective outside the home are valid, how much moreso whenapplied to identifying the next generation's leaders: our kids!Weaving many practical principles with real life anecdotes anddown-to-earth illustrations of how Leadership works in his ownhousehold, Elmore helps us identify leadership traits/potentialresiding under our roof in the yet-to-be-developed young livesof our kids. He recognizes that God has given us our childrenas our most valuable resource for impacting this and futuregenerations; how much more should we invest in them what theBible teaches about "Train a child in the WAY HE/SHE SHOULD GO",not necessarily the way we as parents may mistakenly think theyought to go in terms of temperament,gift/skill mix,personality,individual potential,etc.Excellent reading,hard to put down, and immediately applicable.Ideal as a gift for anyone with kids who wants to help themdevelop their fullest potential and be all that God lovingly,individually,uniquely,wonderfully created them to be and BECOME!
