ENGLISH. If I would have enough money to buy this book and gift it to all my friends who are Pastors and their teams, I would. I can´t bless them all, but I can start with one. This book (as every Paul David Tripp´book I have read goes direct to hard topics, issues that everyone faces. I grew up in a Christian home, so I have all my life going to church... and I have served in almost every role there is in the church (obviously never as pastor) so I have seen everything he shares in those pages. Reading moved me a lot. It was like having flashbacks and also like he was describing my last months. I just pray the Lord will glorify in the middle of everything people in ministry face. This book is very timely since this quarantine new problems have arisen, escalated, or exploited. There is a lot of things to deal with. I´m sure if you get this book and read it with your team you will be confronted, exhorted, and animated to keep going. Paul goes to the root of things and points you to the important things, the gospel, JesusChrist, and the work he wants to do in our lives while serving. There is a long long road to go. I´m glad to read in the USA happens exactly the same that every part in the world... sin is universal. Latin America follows almost every single thing that is considered modern or interesting in the north, so I wish we can see that or action and example matters. I really enjoy the deep lines Paul David Tripp writes, is like he is describing what you see, feel or think, He makes this to feel so easy to write, but I´m sure it is not that easy, it is a gift. I want to underline every single page. I´m glad there are people out there with that kind of brain, heart, and ability to write, communicate while pointing you to Christ, His Word, and what it is important. I wish there is a translation available soon to also gift to my Spanish speaking friends. I would love to translate books like this one. I hope to have the opportunity someday to have a book club with other people in ministry and learn together about this, share ideas, and pray to be found faithful.

I think I´ll share some quotes here, so you can enjoy too.

Si tuviera suficiente dinero para comprar este libro y regalarlo a todos mis amigos que son pastores y a sus equipos, lo haría. No puedo bendecirlos a todos, pero puedo empezar con uno. Este libro (como todos los libros de Paul David Tripp que he leído va directo a temas difíciles, problemas que todos enfrentan. Crecí en un hogar cristiano, así que toda mi vida he ido a la iglesia ... y he servido en casi todos los roles que hay en la iglesia (obviamente nunca como pastor), así que he visto todo lo que él comparte en esas páginas. Leer me conmovió mucho. Fue como tener flashbacks y también como si estuviera describiendo mis últimos meses. Solo oro al Señor glorificará en medio de todo lo que enfrentan las personas en el ministerio. Este libro es muy oportuno ya que esta cuarentena han surgido, aumentado o explotado nuevos problemas. Hay muchas cosas con las que lidiar. Estoy seguro de que si obtienes este libro y lo lees con tu equipo, serás confrontado, exhortado y animado a seguir adelante. Paul Tripp va a la raíz de las cosas y apunta a las cosas importantes, el evangelio, Jesucristo y el trabajo que él quiere hacer en nuestras vidas mientras servimos. . Hay un largo camino por recorrer. Lo que sucede en los EE. UU. Sucede exactamente El mismo que en todas partes del mundo ... el pecado es universal. América Latina sigue casi todo lo que se considera moderno o interesante en el norte, así que me gustaría que pudiéramos ver que las acciones y el ejemplo son importantes (el que vemos y el que damos). Realmente disfruto las líneas profundas que escribe Paul David Tripp, es como si estuviera describiendo lo que ves, sientes o piensas. Quiero subrayar todo el libro. Leerlo es sentir que estan fácil escribir, pero estoy segura de que no es tan fácil, es un don hermoso el que tiene. Me alegro de que haya gente por ahí con ese tipo de cerebro, corazón, capacidad para escribir y comunicarse ,  mientras señala a Cristo, Su Palabra y lo que es en realidad importante. Deseo que haya una traducción disponible pronto para regalar también a mis amigos de habla hispana. Oh, cómo me encantaría traducir libros como este. Espero también buscar la oportunidad algún día de tener un club de lectura con otras personas en el ministerio y aprender juntos sobre esto, compartir ideas y orar para ser encontrados fieles. El Señor nos ayude.

Estoy pensando si luego compartir aquí algunas frases...

Description

The church is experiencing a leadership crisis.

What can we do to prevent pastors from leaving the ministry?

For every celebrity pastor exiting the ministry in the spotlight, there are many more lesser-known pastors leaving in the shadows. Pastor and best-selling author Paul David Tripp argues that lurking behind every pastoral failure is the lack of a strong leadership community. Tripp draws on his decades of ministry experience to give churches twelve gospel principles necessary to combat this leadership crisis. Each of these principles, built upon characteristics such as humility, dependency, and accountability, will enable new and experienced leaders alike to focus their attention on the ultimate leadership model: the gospel.

A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise

“This book is the perfect complement to Tripp’s Dangerous Calling. The warning of ‘functional gospel amnesia’ captures so well why this book is needed. Leaders do not need more gimmicks. Leaders need more grace. They need more gospel.”

—Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

“The strength of this book lies in the way Tripp shapes his treatment of leadership by two things: his understanding of the gospel, and his grasp of the organic nature of the local church. At one level, this is an easy read; at another level, it is sometimes probing and painful.”

—D. A. Carson, Theologian-at-Large, The Gospel Coalition

“Tripp knows the heart and hurts of the leader. He writes with a vulnerable compassion borne out of shared experiences and a conviction rooted in deep biblical wisdom. Lead is by far the best book on ministry leadership I have read and one to which I will undoubtedly return.”

—Mark Bailey, President and Senior Professor of Bible Exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary

“Wow. I had no idea that reviewing this book would become so very personal, so penetrating—an experience of leadership surgery that sliced my soul open with conviction and then sutured it shut with grace. Tripp is among the few who have the experience, stature, transparency, and clarity to call church leaders back to the urgency of gospel transformation in ministry. May God give me, and all of us, ears to hear these truths . . . and enough courageous humility to apply them!”

—Dave Harvey, President, Great Commission Collective; author, I Still Do

“While this book is written primarily for pastors and ministry leaders, it is appropriate for any Christ-following leaders who operate in the sacred or the secular. As a leader who spent thirty years in c-suite roles in business and now almost four years as a leader in a global ministry, I found the twelve gospel principles to be spot on. I encourage any leader, either in business or ministry, to pick this book up and digest it.”

—Steve Shackelford, Chief Executive Officer, Redeemer City to City

“Only read this book if you are desperate to be a more humble, gentle, and gracious servant of Christ. If you want something that will chart your way to ecclesiastical fame and celebrity-pastor status, this is not it. This book is about sacrificial, humble, death-to-self leadership—not self-centered, superficial, self-promoting, narcissistic authoritarianism. On every page, Tripp challenges us to recapture a thoroughly biblical approach to leadership in the church, and that is precisely what we need as we lead amid the raging battle all around us—a battle for our joy, our perseverance, our lives, our families, and the people we serve—to the end that God would get all the glory, and not us.”

—Burk Parsons, Senior Pastor, Saint Andrew’s Chapel, Sanford, Florida; Editor, Tabletalk

“Tripp’s books have been some of the most influential books in my life. Lead is no exception! You will find within the pages of this book practical, gospel-centered help as you lead and serve others.”

—Jennie Allen, New York Times best-selling author, Get Out of Your Head; Founder, IF:Gathering

“I think I have read everything Paul Tripp has written! Few people have inspired and instructed me with clear, gospel-saturated wisdom like he has, and I’m excited to see him apply this wisdom to leadership. As is often said, everything rises or falls on leadership, including the family, the home, and the spiritual self. Dangerous Calling was eerily prophetic in its anticipation of the fall of a number of high-profile leaders, each one adding to the heartbreak of a church in a leadership crisis. I am grateful to see that conversation extended, and I hope many will not only read this book, but saturate themselves in the gospel it puts forward.”

—J. D. Greear, President, Southern Baptist Convention; author, Not God Enough; Pastor, The Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
