Leading From The Second Chair - Serving Your Church, Fulfilling Your Role, And Realizing Your Dreams (Hardcover)

"Somebody said the hardest instrument to play is second fiddle. But since Jesus had one or two things to say about serving and submitting, this is a rich field. Mike Bonem and Roger Patterson have addressed a key need with wisdom and clarity."
-- John Ortberg, author, If You Want to Walk on Water, Get Out of the Boat; teaching pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church

"The mission of an organization either hangs together or falls apart at the critical interface between first and second chairs. This helpful volume from seasoned practitioners identifies and addresses the character, competencies, and chemistry that make for effective second chair leadership. It's a book for you, no matter which seat you're in."
-- Reggie McNeal, author, The Present Future; director, Leadership Development, South Carolina Baptist Convention

Each one demonstrates individual gifts being cojoined for maximum ministry effect. Leading from the Second Chair articulates and celebrates the necessity of God's strategic partnerships."
-- Mike Slaughter and Kim Miller, lead pastor and creative director, Ginghamsburg Church
