The Good Shepherd: Forty Biblical Insights on Leading and Being Led
Autor Timothy S. Laniaken Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 apr 2024
Shepherding is the single most important image of servant leadership in the Bible. From literal shepherds such as Moses and David to the apostles calling early church elders to pastor their flocks, biblical leadership is embodied in the humble, vigilant, everyday work of shepherds.
To help us better understand this idea of shepherding, Tim Laniak spent months among Bedouin shepherds in the Middle East. Combining this rich cultural experience with careful biblical study, Tim offers 40 short readings that explore every leader’s responsibility to provide, protect, and guide. Each chapter begins with observations from Tim’s travels, continues with insights into Bible stories about shepherding, and concludes with what this means for you in your own spheres of influence, whether in the home, church, or neighborhood.
As a follower of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, you too are called to be a good shepherd of the sheep in your care.

Recenzii
Sharp observations, reflective descriptions, with meaningful application of Scripture, The Good Shepherd brings to life how leaders are formed—biblically, theologically, and practically. I highly commend this important book to you.
A brilliant integration of knowledge and application and an invaluable gift to those who are looking for exceptional tools for their sabbatical or for daily reflection during the forty days of Resurrection to Ascension. Thank you, Dr. Laniak, for this inspiring work on biblical shepherd leadership!
This book equipped hundreds of leaders in our congregation to see themselves as biblical shepherds of people, not merely organizational managers of roles.
Tim Laniak agrees that, as Christian leaders, we should think of ourselves as shepherds, but he brings to our identity an unsettling biblical and cultural realism. . . . He guides us to appreciate—and embrace—all that biblical shepherding involves.
Philip Keller wrote a soul-opening book, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23. The journey in the following pages will take you beyond that devotional classic. With insightful words and splendid photographs, Laniak brings both a scholar’s mind and a pastor’s heart to his writing.
A warm, winsome, and captivating forty-day journey to godly leadership.
[Laniak] has superbly woven together Scripture’s pastoral culture and its leadership themes, modeling for us the genuinely biblical leadership of our Chief Shepherd.
Laniak’s work has helped me see the shepherd image in an entirely new way. I am particularly struck by the way shepherding connects with peacemaking—it is vital for church leaders not only to have a shepherd’s tender heart, but also to have the courage to protect and the wisdom to guide their flocks.
