Chapman was a widely respected Christian leader in England during the last century as a pastor, a teacher, and an evangelist. But he was best known for his remarkable life of love.

This book and its companions, Biblical Eldership and Biblical Eldership Study Guide, provide a thorough, biblical mentoring program to help train church elders. The Mentor's Guide is the leader's edition to the Biblical Eldership Study Guide. Because elders are busy men, and many do not have the time or adequate resources to prepare for mentoring, this guide provides the mentoring elder with extensive answers to all the questions in the Study Guide, along with practical mentoring tips.

The Mentor's Guide to Biblical Eldership

Swartley, Richard

It is not enough merely to have an eldership. The eldership must be actively functioning, competent and spiritually alive. The lack of elder and deacon training is an extremely critical problem. We are not training those who lead and have oversight of our churches. We erroneously believe that our serving elders and deacons understand spiritual oversight and care, but in fact our churches are filled with elders and deacons who confess that they are unprepared and untrained for their work. The Biblical Eldership Study Guide provides twelve comprehensive lessons regarding biblical eldership principles. It is designed for use (along with the text, Biblical Eldership) by the prospective new elder under the direction of a mentoring elder, or could also be used in group study.
