  • Redeeming Leadership: Shoulder Pads

    Redeeming Leadership /Amazon

    "Riddle has efficiently put together some amazing thoughts on leadership. Even without a bloated page count, He has given us so much to think about. Its a must read for anyone trying to lead a ministry. " - Brandon Brown

    All leaders, no matter what type of organization, have felt the weight of the "shoulder pads." This is a fantastic illustration that all leaders can relate to well. This book is a great resource that brings light to not only problem identification but problem solution…

    "Riddle has efficiently put together some amazing thoughts on leadership. Even without a bloated page count, He has given us so much to think about. Its a must read for anyone trying to lead a ministry. " - Brandon Brown

    All leaders, no matter what type of organization, have felt the weight of the "shoulder pads." This is a fantastic illustration that all leaders can relate to well. This book is a great resource that brings light to not only problem identification but problem solution. The author articulates well the leadership deficiencies and challenges of a local church context. I highly recommend this read."
    -Jay Henderson


    "Mark does what he does best within this book: he asks questions worth asking. How do we as leaders of a ministry unintentionally stunt the spiritual growth and ministry gifts of our congregants and students? Too often, well intentioned church leaders take on too much personal responsibility for ministry...ending up feeling resentful for the workload while ironically being resented for how things get done. I hope the questions in this book can lead ministries to healthier places.

    This book should be required reading for church staff and lay leaders alike. Well done! " - Erin Jackson

  • The (un)Official Church Staff Manual: Youth Pastor Edition

    Zondervan - HarperCollins Christian Publishing

    A goofy little book I wrote for youth pastors at "the back of the room". The church didn't know what to do with this little book. Stylings of equal parts Worst Case Scenario and Colbert Report this book is part satire part serious and I leave it to the reader to determine which is which. It's currently out of print, but I have copies if you'd like one :)

  • Inside the Mind of Youth Pastors: A Church Leader's Guide to Staffing and Leading Youth Pastors

    Zondervan - HarperCollins Christian Publishing

    This is a book I wrote to church leaders (ie Sr. Pastors, Executive Pastors, Elder Boards, Search committees) about youth ministry and youth pastors.
