Welcome to Claybury International’s on-line shop. It provides a range of books that we recommend for Christian leaders seeking to develop a Christian servant leadership style. They deal with a range of issues from intimacy with God, to managing change in your church or organisation, to managing stress and surviving burnout. They complement the other resources available for church leaders, and other Christian leaders outside of the church, that are available on this site, many of which are free of charge.
Freedom to Lead
by Colin Buckland
Price: £8.99
(Postage and packaging extra: UK £2.45, International £7.01 ) details….
This book (originally published under the title of Liberated to Lead) is for any Christian in a position of leadership in the Church. Many leaders struggle with the nature of their role – trying to do the impossible for God, rather than doing their best and leaving the rest to the God of the impossible.
Colin helps readers to:
- Balance family life and the pressures of ministry
- Set realistic expectations in ministry
- Understand one’s calling to Christian service
- Avoid or overcome burnout.
Freedom to Lead is an invaluable tool for leaders who want to learn more about themselves and the role God has called them to.
Culture Craft (eBook version)
By Rick Sessoms & Colin Buckland
Price £3.99
Many committed, capable, next-generation leaders are confused and frustrated in their current organisations. They cannot reconcile the evident chasm between the Jesus way of leadership and their own organisations’ dysfunctional cultures.
Rick and Colin have written this book to clear the confusion. They ask tough questions that reveal any organisation’s culture. They also offer practical, proven tools to build a ‘healthy’ organisation, one whose members demonstrate real values that are consistent with the teaching and example of Jesus.
This is a must-read book for ‘culture crafters’, those leaders who want to influence their organisations toward better health.

Project Management: A Practical Guide for Christian Leaders
by Mike Waddell
Price: £2.50 (eBook download only)
One of the greatest stressors anywhere, let alone for Christian leaders, is running a project. This is because projects are dependent upon other people for achievement and more than that, most times they will involve activities beyond the competence of the project manager. In Christian circles many leaders are running projects but have no training and experience to call upon.
Mike is an experienced project manager. For many years he has run project teams operating around the world delivering complex projects. This booklet provides an accessible, practical guide distilling the essence of project planning and management for the inexperienced and uninitiated Christian project leader. It’s a “must read” for budding project managers.

The Call to Intimacy
By Tony Horsfall
Price: £7.99
(Postage and packaging extra UK – £2.45, International £5.79) details….
The Call to Intimacy explores why evangelical and charismatic Christians in particular need to slow down and heed the divine invitation to ‘be still and know that I am God’. Using biblical insights, and drawing from the wisdom of contemplative Christianity, the author encourages busy activists to build more time and space for God in their lives.
After considering the themes of stillness, silence and solitude as key aspects in drawing near to God, he then shows how we can grow in our awareness of God through reflection, biblical mediations and contemplation. Finally, he calls for a spirituality that is grounded in everyday life, one that can be lived out even in the fast lane.
“It is a joy for me to recommend this book to those who can no longer ignore or push away the passion for God’s presence – I warmly recommend it.” From the Foreword by Joyce Huggett.
Temptations Men Face
By Tom Eisenman
Price £7.99
(Postage and packaging extra UK – £2.45, International £7.01) details….
Yielding to temptation is the norm today. In a world where right and wrong are increasingly meaningless terms, it is more urgent than ever that Christian men should ensure that their faith permeates every part of their lives.
Yet how can we live in a culture of seductive pleasures and power plays without being overcome? How can we reject peer pressure? How can we refuse sexual temptations and the drive to acquire?
In this intelligent and caring book Tom Eisenman helps men to confront those things which rob us of spiritual growth and authority. A concluding chapter offers advice to women on how to help men.
Change Directions
by Dr David Cormack
Price: £8.99
(Postage and packaging extra: UK £2.45, International £7.01) details….
Change is an unchanging fact of life. When it is uncontrolled it can be devastatingly disruptive. When it is necessary but does not happen stagnation and decline inevitably follow.
Dr David Cormack takes a look at change from a Christian perspective and enables his readers to understand what happens to people when confronted with change. He offers a well considered way to initiate and manage change for Christian organisations and provides considerable insight into the subject for church leaders. David was previously chairman of MAF Europe.
