Welcome to The Coaching Pair's On-Line Coaching Bookstore!
Our bookstore carries some of the top materials coaches use to help their people grow, as well as books and resources for learning more about coaching and building your coaching skills.
Below are a just a few of our personal favorites: The absolute top coaching how-to book, Leadership Coaching, the best material to introduce coaching into your church or small group, the Peer Coach Training Program, and a great little booklet on powerful questions (Asking to Win!). We hope you enjoy them as much as we have!
Leadership Coaching is our best-selling how-to book for learning Christian coaching or improving life coaching skills. You'll soon see why it is widely used internationally in coaching schools and training courses: it is filled with real-life stories, practical tools and application exercises that teach you the nuts and bolts of how to coach.
The first section describes the part coaching can play in the larger purposes of God for a believer's life. Tony goes beyond simply pointing to question examples in scripture to explain the biblical values behind Christian leadership coaching. Section II shows you how to coach with a hands-on, interactive style. The book guides you through each of the seven key process elements of effective coaching in detail. Special Master Class chapters provide extra examples and training exercises for important skills. To get even more out of this great book, get it bundled with the companion Leadership Coaching Live! CD set, or save even more with the Tony Stoltzfus Author Bundle.
A great question can transform your life. In this compact, high-impact booklet, Bobb Biehl, a well-known speaker and life- and business planning consultant, has captured over 100 jewels from his own experience of asking profound questions. The booklet also contains samples of several planning tools and rules of thumb for asking, planning and deciding.
Bob Biehl's questions run the gamut from career change to brainstorming to organizing to problem solving. It's a great pocket resource for Christian coaches seeking to improve their asking skills or find examples of life-changing questions.

Want to perfect your asking skills with the help of a master coach? Coaching Questions is the best-selling asking resource for both coaches in training and seasoned professionals. This comprehensive toolkit is packed with dozens of asking tools, models and exercises, covering everything from conversational models, options and obstacles to advanced asking skills like reframing, tolerations and decision strategies (click here to view the Table of Contents). Each questioning technique is described, then illustrated with coaching question examples (over 1,000 in all), asking tips and practice exercises. It even includes self-study schedules for becoming a "master of asking". This reference guide is one you'll turn to again and again.
Peer Coach Training can help you build lasting, accountable peer relationships in your church, small group or team. Or, it can be the perfect way to offer introductory Christian coaching skills training. This Facilitator's Package includes everything a leader needs to offer Peer Coach Training in his or her group. The package includes:
The Peer Coaching Facilitator’s Guide is the leader’s complete handbook for offering the course, with session outlines, checklists, promotional hints, and follow-up materials. (Click here to see a sample session outline).
The book Leadership Coaching provides a wealth of background information on the Christian coaching concepts presented. Each discussion question is keyed to the pages in the book where that concept is discussed. Click here to read a sample chapter.
The Peer Coaching DVD Set includes 25 teaching and demonstration segments on two discs. Watch real peer coaching demonstrations, discuss, and then try the techniques out with your peer partner.
A copy of the Peer Coaching Workbook includes handouts, peer exercises, debriefing questions, and other resources for participants. (Click here to view a sample).
The course includes an orientation plus eight 60- to 75-minute coach training sessions. A typical session features a short teaching segment plus a demonstration of a coaching skill, a debriefing time, and an application exercise where peers practice with each other. Several flexible schedules are provided for various workshop or classroom formats. (The workshop options eliminate the peer relationship component and focus solely on developing Christian coaching skills.)
The Peer Coaching Workbook gives each participant in peer coach training the resources they need to build a lasting, accountable, authentic peer relationship. Peer coaching is a growth-centered relationship between two or three peer partners who meet regularly to set personal growth goals, develop action steps, and provide the support and accountability needed for maximum progress. This Workbookincludes covenants, peer exercises, session outlines and more to build that relationship, plus a set of tools for helping others grow using the coaching approach.
This is not a program where you just sit and listen to a lecturer! In each of the eight weekly training sessions, participants listen to a brief teaching from the DVD Set, watch a demonstration of a coaching skill, debrief on what they observed, then do a peer exercise in breakouts where they put what they’ve learned into practice. Half way through the program, peers begin meeting on their own to set growth goals, develop their own action steps, and cheer each other on to growth. It’s a highly interactive, experiential process.
Your group leader will need a Facilitator’s Package to offer the course. An Independent Study version is also available that allows two individuals to build a peer coaching relationship on their own.Click Here for more resources from this author.

The Aspiring Coach's Library offers five top-rated coaching resources: Christ Centered Coaching, Leadership Coaching, Leadership Coaching Live!, Coaching for Performance, and Asking to Win.
Christ-Centered Coaching by Jane Creswell (a leading figure in the Christian coaching movement) is the book we recommend for a first introduction to coaching. It focuses on the key benefits of coaching for ministry leaders, and will help you tune into to what coaching can do for you and for those you work with.
Leadership Coaching is our top-rated book for learning how to coach. Written by a top Christian coach trainer, this title is filled with tools, sample dialogs, and skill building exercises. It also grounds those techniques in a solid presentation of the Christian coaching approach and in a biblical value system. Leadership Coaching Live! is a companion 4-disc set that goes with the book. Reading about coaching is good, but it is essential that you spend time listening to a great coach at work to catch the nuances of how it's done.
Our top-selling business coaching book is Coaching for Performance, and here's why: not only is it written by one of the original founders of the coaching movement, but it has the most lucid introduction to business coaching we've seen, and it presents the most common coaching conversational model (GROW) in great depth. This is one every coach should have on their shelf.
Asking to Win is a pocket asking guide by Bobb Biehl, a leader famous for changing your life with only a few questions. It contains 200 excellent examples of coaching questions, arranged by category. This booklet is a great way to learn some excellent questions (and a great crutch when you get stuck and don't know what to ask!)
