Leighton Ford is widely regarded as the greatest mentoring leader of his generation.

Anyone in ministry leadership knows how lonely it can be. Seminary training and giftedness—vital as they are—are not enough to spare leaders from problems and challenges they didn’t see coming or those dark nights of the soul they must keep to themselves. Lifelong Leadership is a godsend. You hold in your hands a step-by-step, practical guide to create and launch a Mentoring Community—a time-tested practice that has been used globally to end leadership isolation and that benefits emerging leaders with the wisdom and support they long for and need.
