A great resource for those involved in helping ministries Oct 24, 2009 Faith coaching gives a fresh perspective on the coaching approach to helping others move forward in their spiritual walk. The information was presented in a manner that even those unfamiliar with coaching could understand, and the authors insights were appropriate and helpful. I would recommend this book for anyone working in a helping ministry, or who may have an interest in coaching as a means to help others.
Questions that listen Aug 28, 2009 For those who would walk alongside another person who is searching for faithful responses to life's inevitable dilemmas, Faith Coaching is a sensitive and practical resource for a much needed spiritual practice. The key for the would-be "faith coach" (caring friend, mentor, counselor, pastor, is to ask the right kinds of questions rather than to give advice or interject their own perspectives. For experienced counselors, the concept will remind you of "active listening," but with a contemporary slant. The authors provide excellent training examples and narratives. The spiritual praxis of faith coaching is well-grounded in the authors' healthy understanding of evangelism. The book is highly readable and teachable. Individuals and congregations will find it an engaging text to use in preparation for various types of lay ministry.

A Significant Contribution Aug 28, 2009 "FAITH COACHING provides a much needed perspective on spiritual formation. The coaching expertise of the authors combined with their passion for authentic faith formation is on every page. The case studies and very practical nature of the writings are certain to bear much fruit in a world where many have become skeptical of the faith and the church."

A Coach-Approach to Soul Leadership
Compelling AND Competent Resource! Aug 28, 2009 While I expected to learn new ways to impact others through coaching, FAITH COACHING has also been life-giving and faith-building for me personally. Written in a very personable style, sharing a theology of coaching, and offering numerous case studies, I'm sure this will become a trusted resource for many who want to incorporate a coach approach to their life ministry. I'm grateful to the authors: Chad, Bill and Kathryn, for their inspiration through the pages of this book to strengthen my own faith journey by coaching others on theirs
