United in Spirit
United in Spirit seeks not merely to give the theory of leadership unity but to provide a set of biblically grounded ethics for a local church leadership team.

This book aims to lay the ground rules for a leadership team. These principles will help you preserve the sweetness of love, unity, and friendship in the greater work of shepherding the local church.
