In Off-Road Disciplines: Spiritual Adventures of Missional
Leaders, Earl Creps contends that some of our most important
encounters with God occur unexpectedly—complete with
the bumps and bruises that happen when you go “off-road.” Becoming
an off-road leader requires the cultivation of certain spiritual
disciplines that allow the Holy Spirit to form our interior
lives, moving us out of the center so that Jesus can occupy
His rightful place. Only this transaction holds the potential
to shape missional leaders. Earl explores twelve central
spiritual disciplines—six personal and six organizational—that
Christian leaders of all ages and denominations need if they
are to change themselves and their churches to reach out to
the culture around them.
Off-Road Disciplines is a 2006 publication of Jossey-Bass and Leadership
Network.
