This is an absorbing and accomplished look at a "coach approach" to soulful living and leading. The diagrams and charts that outline the authors’ theology of change are worth the price of admission alone. A stellar contribution to the coaching literature.

From time to time someone comes along who is able to bridge the gap between today and tomorrow, the span between the world outside the church and the world inside the church. Eddie Hammett did that for us. He challenged us without shaming us, helped us see the urgency without making us feel hopeless. Because of Eddie's time with us, we are going to be more effective in reaching people under forty while keeping people over sixty.

Author of Faith Coaching: A Conversational Approach to Helping Others Move Forward in Faith
In this fast-paced, fast-changing world, leaders are in need of tools and guidelines for managing change and staying focused on the mission of the organization. In this book, Hammett and Pierce have provided just such a tool. The leadership principles outlined here are applicable to a variety of organizations, but I would hope church leaders will pay careful attention and learn well this coaching model. This book is a most helpful resource to equip leaders with skills for asking guiding questions and pointing the way forward in this twenty-first–century world. This ‘tool kit’ will provide what is necessary for the task ahead, and the soulful leader will discover fresh insights for bold leadership.”
