We have a lot of exciting new free resources for you coming soon. While you wait though, I wanted to share our favorite resources for leaders. If you are “just a volunteer”, please keep reading. Our philosophy at Teach One Reach One is that everyone is a leader. Not in the “rule the world” sense of the word. Every Christian should think of themselves though, as one who is trying to lead others to Christ.
We always highly suggest everyone read books on leadership and other topics that will help them as they minister to others. The following books are ones I have loved and that have a lot of principles and tips I have personally found very helpful. They are not all Christian books and some of their ideas must be slightly adapted at times, but each has tremendous potential for having a positive impact on your ministry.
