Product Description
Synopsis
There was a time when only athletes had coaches. Now, everyone from CEOs to at-risk youth are being "coached." The International Coaching Federation - which began with only a handful of people - now boasts membership of over 5,000, and currently more than 150,000 people call themselves "Life Coaches." The benefits of coaching have been well documented, but having the right coach is critical. Jesus had only three years to train the twelve disciples, yet in that time he managed to turn this ragamuffin group into "lean, clean marketing machines." Divided into four critical sections - Focus, Balance, Productivity, and Fulfillment - "Jesus, Life Coach" presents a faith-based coaching program with Jesus as the model. Delving into the principles Jesus used to transform those around him, the book offers proven strategies and countless applications for modern-day coaches.

I'm not sure that I buy into the whole Jesus CEO model on which even this offering from Laurie Beth Jones is based. I'm also not sure whether we can copy things quite so directly from Jesus' life as Jones would want to suggest.
However, if you see this book as a series of thoughts about how Jesus might coach you if he were sitting across the table from you today, then you'll probably get a lot out of this book. It's very applicable to life, it will make you think and start asking yourself some challenging questions. But it's not really a justification for viewing Jesus as a life coach!

Devotional Book For Christian Career Women
11 May 2005
Format:Hardcover
The value of "Jesus, Life Coach" all depends on what you're looking for. If you are a career woman looking for a devotional book full of interesting stories and practical life application you are going to be thrilled with this one.
If you are searching for a guidebook to assist you in coaching people or nuts and bolts instruction on life skills development, you are going to be very disappointed.
I was looking for the later but have based my rating on the former. Laurie Beth Jones proves to be a very good devotional writer for today's Christian career woman.

not what i expected
30 Oct 2004
Format:Hardcover
When I heard the ad for this book on the radio I rushed right out and bought it (I NEVER do this!), not even looking inside first. I thought it would be about how to figure out what to do with one's life, career wise; sort of a Christian "What Color Is Your Parachute?"
It's not. It reads like a daily devotional book. It's a fine devotional book too, but the title is wrong and misleading.
Furthermore, I had a bit of trouble relating to the author who seemed to be all business-woman whereas I've been a stay at home Mom for 18 years.
Because she was talking about the intimacy of life choices I would expect her to share a bit about why she never married. This was not the case.
IN sum, this book would be a nice gift for a seriously single working woman who needs a daily devotional.

This book encourages Thinking - Questioning - Asking Tough Questions - That's Coaching!
18 Nov 2005
Format:Hardcover
I really enjoyed the book - read it through once underlined points to remember. Now I am going back and reading again the highlights. I like it even better, the second time through. Miss Jones' writing show passion. A man or woman, anybody who acts on the truths in this book will see change. That's what Coaching is about, Forward Change, not dwelling on the past, but learning, not dwelling in it. I am a man and enjoyed it greatly.
