Timothy, Titus and You: A Study Guide for Church Leaders
This is not a light study with a few leadership principles to take home. This is for those who want to take a good look at biblical qualifications for leadership and are willing to shine the light of the Word on their lives and model them after the Apostle Paul.
Nine lessons are especially geared for elders, deacons, and those interested in church office, but contain biblical wisdom for all current and aspiring leaders.
Lou PrioloLike a magnifying mirror that sheds light on and amplifies the pastoral epistles, this practical, thought provoking, self-evaluation workbook will challenge men (both candidates for eldership, as well as seasoned pastors) to be faithful shepherds over (and among) God’s flock.

Barry YorkDr. Scipione has organized the material from these three epistles under nine helpful topics, leading the reader to grow in four ways: knowing God’s Word, knowing yourself, disciplining yourself for biblical change, and sharing with others. This book will be a great resource for training elders in caring for themselves and the flock of God.
