Description:

Four times in its history – 1925, 1951, 1974 and 2001 – The Salvation Army organised international training councils which gathered the best leader-trainers from around the world to discuss and learn about best practice for training leaders in the movement.
After each event the presented papers, containing the very best perspectives on training Army leaders, were published for limited circulation. Some of the lectures were representative of their day, while others stand out beyond their era and offer to us lessons relevant to today.
This book brings together a selection of these lectures – including chapters by Generals Bramwell Booth, Albert Orsborn, Erik Wickberg, Arnold Brown, Eva Burrows and Paul A. Rader. Each paper has been carefully revised and updated, and reading guides and discussion starters will stimulate debate.
