Books & Videos
We have a number of resources available to all who have completed the basic Servant-Leadership course at the Elrod Center. We DO NOT want these resources just sitting on a shelf in the Elrod Center. We want them in your hands so they can make their way into your heart and life! Just let us know and we'll mail you any books and/or videos for you to use. Simply send it back when you're done. We even encourage you to write notes in the books as you read!
