Leadership Coaching gives both detailed instruction on the mechanisms of great coaching as well as a thorough explanation behind the heart of a Coach. As a Certified Professional Coach and Coach Trainer myself (Truth Coaching), I highly recomend the book to those interested in coaching, in addition to professionals already in the field. This book helps remind us all that coaching is truly an “inside-out” process.

The book is absolutely awesome!!! Without a doubt, it’s the best I’ve read in the coaching genre. Tony Stoltzfus has raised the bar for books on coaching with Leadership Coaching. This is especially true for coaching books written from a biblical perspective. It is a must read for all coaches, but especially those who coach Christians. Perhaps even more significantly, this book will change the lives of those who have no aspirations to coach. This book should be considered a basic handbook in human relations. Tony has provided a great service to the coaching profession and the body of Christ.

I coach small groups at my home church and even wrote a pocket book on coaching myself. I also consult pastors and churches through my organization, and recommend this book to every single pastor I speak to when it comes to coaching their small groups. What I have found in this book is a unique wealth of knowledge on how to develop others to coach… something that few authors write about, and even fewer Christian authors write about. Most coaching books are how to coach someone directly… this bumps it up the ladder a rung for the person developing those who will coach. Excellent read. I wish Amazon.com had six stars so I could choose more than 5 for this book.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered “Leadership Coaching”. I am a Life Coach who is also a Christian, and wanted to learn more about combining my faith with my coaching, without pushing it onto my clients.
What I liked about this book was that it had a ton of valuable coaching information, but also backed up the coaching principles with scripture. The content could be used with any client you are working with and it is very easy to digest, even if you’re brand new to coaching. This book would be very beneficial to anyone in ministry, even if you aren’t interested in becoming a coach.
I got a TON of valuable information out of this book and am very thankful to have a resource with Christian principles that was not over the top or “preachy”. Just good solid coaching and communication principles with biblical backing.

Being a seasoned teacher but new to coaching I valued Leadership Coaching for its wealth of practical examples and development of questioning technique. This book fitted in very well with my Life Coaching study completed as part of a theological degree with its own emphasis on development of character of the coach. Stolzfus through his many examples and exercises is very valuable in developing coaching skill and confidence, especially in questioning. The book fits very well alongside Whitmore’s, Coaching for Performance and Collins’, Christian Coaching.
