His book, Off-Road Disciplines: Spiritual Adventures of Missional Leaders was published by Jossey-Bass/Leadership Network in October 2006.
SPEAKING & CONSULTING:
I travel to speak at conferences, churches, colleges, etc. I also do consulting with church and parachurch organizations on issues ranging from strategic planning to leadership training and development to generational harmony. I think of a consultant as something like a Spiritual Director for your organization.
