"I'm tired of helping others enjoy God I just want to enjoy God for myself." With this painful admission, Ruth Haley Barton invites us to an honest exploration of what happens when spiritual leaders lose track of their souls. Weaving together contemporary illustrations with penetrating insight from the life of Moses, Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership explores topics such as
  • responding to the dynamics of calling
  • facing the loneliness of leadership
  • leading from your authentic self
  • cultivating spiritual community
  • reenvisioning the promised land
  • discerning God's will together

Each chapter includes a spiritual practice to ensure your soul gets the nourishment it needs. Forging and maintaining a life-giving connection with God is the best choice you can make for yourself and for those you lead. This expanded edition includes the popular "How Is It with Your Soul? assessment for leaders and a flexible six- or twelve-week guided experience for groups.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Ruth Haley Barton (Doctor of Divinity, Northern Seminary) is founding president/CEO of the Transforming Center, a ministry dedicated to strengthening the souls of pastors and Christian leaders, and the congregations and organizations they serve. For over twenty years, she has ministered to the soul care needs of pastors and leaders based upon her conviction that the best thing we bring to to leadership is our own transforming selves. Trained at the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation and the Institute for Pastoral Studies Loyola University Chicago, Ruth is a seasoned retreat leader and spiritual director.

REVIEWS:

"In the same spirit in which Henri Nouwen wrote The Return of the Prodigal Son, Ruth Haley Barton has captured the soul of Moses and has revealed him to us as a seeker of truth, wisdom, and vulnerability."
- Glandion W. Carney, Chaplain of the Christian Legal Society

"A weary, waiting world cries out for God-shaped leaders who would serve more than be served, who would find power by laying down power, who would lose their lives for others. In her reflections on the life of Moses, God's radically human and holy friend, Ruth Haley Barton has given us not only a portrait of what sacrificial and redemptive leadership looks like, but has provided practice for getting there. This is a book to read alone and together. It will encourage and empower us to seek God more deeply, to listen for and embody our innate callings, to stay faithful to our solitary and even lonely journeys in community, and to love God for the long haul."
- N. Gordon Cosby, cofounder of The Church of the Saviour, Washington, DC

"[This] book has become for me a companion on the way. . . . The author's style is warm and accessible. I like her insights into the inner life of the leader. . . . I am deeply grateful for the helpful practices she describes and recommends. But what draws me even more is that Ruth writes with realness and integrity out of her own intimate experience of the inner journey of a leader. . . . Reading this book will surely help you to be attentive to the God who is the strength of your soul, and the heart of your leadership."
- From the foreword by Leighton Ford, founder of the Arrow Leadership program and author of The Attentive Life

Good product misleading size.
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Color: Blue
Really disappointed about the size. It is way too small for my berniedoodle. He still likes it for play but I’m afraid he might swallow it. It’s very sturdy tho and is chew resistant. I guess I didn’t pay attention to the size. Looked big in the picture.

Must have item for dogs!!!
Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Color: Pink
The puppy kong is a must have item for every new puppy owner. Super cute!! They usually will last forever (unless you have a super chewer then you need the black one). Great value!! Keeps the puppy busy and entertained. Especially when frozen. Google and the Kong website have tons of recipes. I tend to stick with a little bit of kibble some mashed banana and peanut butter. Also, good options are jars or pouches of baby food just make sure you check the label to ensure there is nothing toxic to dogs in it. More options are kibble soaked in water or broth, pumpkin puree, green beans and carrots. I could go on forever. If you own a dog, a Kong is a must have! I always have two ready to go. And they are dishwasher safe!

Keeps her occupied!
Size: Extra Small (Pack of 1), Color: Pink
It works very well when sruffed with a healthy, soft treat. It keeps our little teething scamp busy for a while and stops her from chewing on household items including her humans!

Teeny Tiny Terrific Toy
Size: Extra Small (Pack of 1), Color: Pink
Perfect for a mini puppy! So teeny tiny; it cracks me up looking at it!! However, my little dog (10 week old Cavapoo) absolutely loves playing with it! It’s her fav! You can stuff 2-5 tiny treats in it to keep puppy occupied and focused.

Must have for a young puppy
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Color: Blue
Very helpful for our young puppy. Cleaning it isn't the easiest, but cleaning advice is easily found online and it's worth the hassle to have a durable lasting toy around
