Product Description
Horses are accustomed to leaders. They want a leader. They expect a leader. From the first bridle to a horse’s last day in the barn, horse-lovers know that life with a horse is a complicated, challenging, beautiful, and sometimes bewildering experience. It takes Patience, Partnership, Communication, Trust, and Preparation—among other qualities—to train and enjoy life with a horse. Those same qualities are essential in good leaders.

Jim Cowart, a pastor and horseman, shares leadership lessons he’s learned in the stables of Georgia, working with horses and professional trainers. Cowart also shares distinct insights from Australia’s legendary horseman Clinton Anderson.

Written in Cowart’s easygoing style, and full of humor, this book brings a light and engaging touch to a serious subject, and is packed with practical advice and instruction.

Jim Cowart is the founding pastor of Harvest Church, a United Methodist congregation in Warner Robins, GA, near Macon. Harvest Church, launched in 2001, has an average attendance of nearly 3,000 each weekend. The church grows primarily through professions of faith from new Christians. Jim is the author or coauthor of Start This Stop That, Grab-Gather and Grow, Living the Five, Grounded in Prayer, and Grounded in Creed. Jim serves as a trainer and coach, helping pastors launch and maintain healthy church environments. For more information go to harvestchurch4u.org.

Serenity Al Janat, who answers to the name, Seri, is a Straight Egyptian Arabian mare from the Dahmah Shahwan Strain. She can trace her lineage back to King Solomon’s stables in Israel, but now lives in Middle Georgia with her best buddy Jim Arch Cowart.

You don’t have to be a “horse whisperer” to recognize the dominant mare in a pasture of horses. And you can tell when she pins her ears back, she’s sending a subtle message to back off. A less subtle nip shows she means it. Amazingly, you can learn a lot about ministry leadership from the world of horsemanship. Horse lovers know that life with a horse is a complicated, challenging, beautiful, and sometimes bewildering experience. In Leading from Horseback, author and horse enthusiast Jim Cowart looks at the qualities needed to train and enjoy life with a horse—patience, partnership, communication, trust, and preparation, among others—and shows how those same qualities are essential to good ministry leaders. Written in Cowart’s easygoing style, the book brings a light and engaging touch to practical leadership advice and instruction.
