The Handbook

Lifeways Coaching Cards were published in November 2005 and since that time I have gathered feedback and comments from a number of coaches that have been using the cards. The handbook that is being written is based on their observations from using the cards in hundreds of coaching sessions. Here is a sample contents list -
