We use Keiths book as a required text for our nationally accredited coach training in Australia as it provides a well-grounded, people focused and leader friendly book that is easy to understand and grasp. I highly recommend (and do so often) Keiths book to Christian leaders who are wanting to coach, develop and lead others.

Dr. Webb does a brilliant job weaving together examples, dialogues, comments, principles, and quotes. Further, his self-disclosures and personal writing style set the tone for others to do likewiseto be curious about how they think and act and then to add the personal element of themselves as they connect with others. This newly updated, practical book continues to be highly readable and highly relevant for people at all levels who want to further develop their interpersonal and coaching skills. We highly recommended it for colleagues in Christian ministry and especially for those with member care and leadership responsibilities.

I know from personal experience that Keith Webb is an effective and compassionate listener, communicator, teacher, and coach. More importantly, he has the ability to convey these skills to Christian business leaders in a variety of fields. Those in leadership positions would be wise to employ his methods and heed his advice.

The newest edition of The Coach Model for Christian Leaders gives greater clarity and tools to the art of coaching. The first edition out-performed all other books in preparing people to be trained as coaches. This edition will prepare and equip, at even a higher level, both the beginner and the skilled coach.

As a Christian coach, I coach both church leaders and business people in secular companies. I often suffer from Christianized secular coaching models that basically reduce the quality of the original method. This book is different. The Coach Model for Christian Leaders is state of the art from a professional perspective as well as a genuine Christian approach. It lays necessary foundations for the work of a coach and is a practical guide for all who want to coach and empower others to unfold their God-given potential.
