Hero Maker

Five Essential Practices for Leaders to Multiply Leaders

By: Dave Ferguson, Warren Bird, J.D Greear - foreword

Narrated by: Mark Smeby, Gabe Wicks, John Behrens

In Hero Maker, you will learn how to bring real change to your church and community by developing the practical skills to help others reach their leadership potential.

Drawing on five powerful practices found in the ministry of Jesus, Hero Maker presents the key steps of apprenticeship that will build up other leaders and provide strategies for how you can:

• activate the gifts of those around you
• help others take ownership of their mission
• develop a simple scorecard for measuring your kingdom-building progress

With rich insights from the Gospels, Hero Maker is packed with real-life ministry stories ranging from paid staff to volunteer leaders - from established churches to new church plants.

Whether you lead 10 people or 10,000, Hero Maker will not only help you maximize your leadership impact; but, in doing so, you will also help shift today's church culture to a model of reproduction and multiplication.

Chicago pastor and church planter Dave Ferguson and award-winning writer Warren Bird make a compelling case that God's power and purpose are best revealed when we train and release others to further advance the Kingdom of God.

By becoming a hero maker and investing in others, you can join a movement of influencers that are impacting thousands of people around the world.

Everybody wants to be a hero, but few understand the power of being a hero maker.

A well read and interesting book on how to grow the Kingdom of God

This book lays out a clear way to grow not just a church, but The Church of God. Many concepts are presented in easy to understand and apply methods. The included odd documents are helpful visuals along the way.
This book was recommended to me by my church’s staff. I recommend this book to those who feel called to plant a church, as this will expand your vision and provide practical ideas to apply to that expanded vision.

Potentially life changing

I have felt God’s calling on my life that there was greater out there, but didn’t know what or how to achieve it. This book filled in a bunch of gaps. It also provided practical steps to accomplish it.

a slow draw

the overall message was really great and well-thought-out.as a great idea as how to approach this strategy but I felt like it took a little bit longer then it should have to really close up the book

Acts 1:8- Change the World

This book has the potential to change the world. It's the best book I have ever read and everyone should read it. We will be implementing all of the teachings and continuously studying this book as the ministry we operate (BOLD3 Coffee - www.bold3.org) continues to grow. Praise Jesus for this book.

Inspiring!! Ultra implementable. Shareable! greatl

I hope and pray that this doesn't just become a best seller, but more importantly a best implemented book! Game changer for building the Kingdom of God through His Church.

Every Leader Needs To Hear

A simple but challenging message that inspires and gives practical advice on how to invest in people to expand the kingdom of God.

Hero Maker

the authors have a good approach and the ideas in the book are good but a little vague.

Will you choose to be a hero make me too?

Great book for all those looking to find their way with what we should be doing as a church! I choose to be a hero maker and not the hero. It is so worth getting and taking heart in what Dave says. Great narration too!

Let's Make Heroes

My pastor introduced our church to Hero Makers, which inspired me to purchase the book. It is simply put, repeating the orders of Jesus to go and "make disciples" in a way that is both realistic and relevant; this book helps make clear the focus of any member of the Body of Christ, no matter their gift, calling, or function.

"Herophic"

making leaders that make leaders! A teaching that's a Repeat read! Get ready to go to the next level!
