Have you ever wondered how the first century church developed its leaders?

In The Next Leader, Stephen D. Owens helps church leaders look at leadership development by taking a trip back in history to examine the life of John Mark and the path God used to develop him into an amazing leader. While many Christians will attest to John Mark being the writer of the Gospel of Mark, many do not realize the process God used to prepare him for such an awesome responsibility. Not only was John Mark a gospel writer he was also a very capable leader within the early church who developed other leaders. Discover how God developed him and how God can use you and your church to develop leaders as well.
