Actually, another book I read recently and enjoyed was ‘Leadership from the inside out’ … from the Leadership Network series. Can’t remember the name of the author though. Similar to Peter Brain’s book, but lighter and I found it easier to get into.

yeah, I think so. The way he writes the book is as if you were shouting him a coffee every couple of weeks in your first two years, and he was talking you through all the issues as they come up.

There’s good stuff about conflict resolution, finding and training leaders, rest, all that.

Haven’t read that one. Would it be helpful to read at the 10 year mark?

I also found Doug Fields’s ‘Your First Two Years In Youth Ministry’ pretty helpful. Shame I read it in about my 6th year of Youth Ministry. There were a lot of ‘oh, so that’s what I should have done’ moments.
