Mentoring Leaders Review

Book Review – Mentoring Leaders: Wisdom for Developing Character, Calling, and Competency

By Carson Pue, Baker Books, 2005, ISBN # 080109187X, 266 pages

Reviewed by Teena M. Stewart

"By the time I completed this book, I had highlighted nearly every page. It will definitely go on my shelf for future reference."


Carson Pue is president of Arrow Leadership Ministries, an international ministry focused on mentoring church leaders. Pue shares much of what he has learned during his time with Arrow. It is an insightful and captivating read.

Those wishing to grow as leaders or to disciple and develop other leaders will benefit from this resource. The book is well rounded, covering five phases of the mentoring matrix. These include self-awareness, (understanding our gifts and skills as well as the shadow side of ourselves); visioneering (ministry idea development); implementing (putting the pieces in place to plan out a ministry); freeing up (breaking chains that hold leaders back from potential); and sustaining (keeping our ministry and our leadership effective and vital).

"It is hard to get excited about another book on leadership, and yet, this one stands out."

One particular chapter that stands out is Freeing Up Leaders. Many leaders fail to live up to their potential because painful past experiences act as unseen shackles holding them back. Often we are not even aware that these exist. By becoming more aware and going through assessments, we can identify those negatives and work to overcome the scars they cause. Areas to consider that impact us include: parental upbringing, generational sin issues, spiritual chains, vows (often unvoiced), and power and control issues.

Each chapter of the book assists leaders at various stages of leadership skills so the book is beneficial to both novice and seasoned leaders.

There are books, and then there are books! Having read a myriad of leader development and team building books, it is hard to get excited about another book on leadership, and yet, this one stands out. By the time I completed this book, I had highlighted nearly every page. It will definitely go on my shelf for future reference.
