Building and Sustaining a Thriving Leadership Culture Foundational to a healthy church is a biblical model of church leadership. In the New Testament, church leadership is rarely a one-person endeavor--it is built around a plurality of elders working together, each bringing their own unique skills and gifts to the cause of shepherding the flock God has entrusted to them. There are many benefits to this model of leadership: being part of a team helps a church leader know his role, submit to authority, learn humility, and think about his gifts and position through the lens of what serves the church rather than his personal agenda. This argument in favor of elder plurality focuses both on how churches can build a healthy elder plurality and thrive as congregations once plurality is established.

Knihu Odvaha k súcitu (pôvodný názov Mindful Compassion) napísali spolu klinický psychológ prof. Paul Gilbert a bývalý zenový mních Choden, určená je laikom aj profesionálom. Spája vedecký prístup Západu s múdrosťou Východu. V prvej časti sa autori sa podujali zrozumiteľnou rečou prerozprávať psychologické teórie. Ponúka porozumenie emočným systémom a často protichodným pohnútkam v našej mysli. Všímavosť (mindfulness) nám vie pomôcť naučiť sa byť prítomnými a vnímavými k tomu, čo sa deje v nás a okolo nás. Kultivovanie súcitu dokáže nasmerovať k zmierňovaniu bolesti okolo nás aj našej vlastnej. Druhá polovica knihy prináša praktické cvičenia, ktoré vedia pomôcť rozvíjať múdrosť a súcit, pre nápravu zranení z minulosti, ale aj plnšie prežívanie v napojení na ľudí okolo nás. Nemožno rozvinúť hlbšie úrovne súcitu, ak nie sme otvorení súcitu k nám.
