An Approach to Biblical Leadership

Book Cover & Preview Text
The leader who demonstrates humility will know they cannot do everything themselves. They must rely on others because they demonstrate their humanity. The same is true for each Christian leader. In fact, the apostle Paul knew that he did not have the stamina or ability to lead anyone without the strength of Christ. He knew that in every situation he must call on Christ to usher him through. Paul declares to the Philippians that he has learned to be content in all things because of the strength Christ gives him. He declares that he has tasted abundance and poverty, he tasted wellness and pain, and he has been full and hungry. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13, NKJV) Leaders, it is Christ who gives us the strength to lead. It is Christ who gives us the strength to be humble. It is Christ who leads us. And if ever there was an authentic leader, it is Christ. Pursue Christ in earnest to show others what an authentic leader is.

About the Book
Leadership is something that we all participate in. Many of us know good and bad leadership when we see it. But do we know what kind of leadership we have? Do we know where it comes from? This is more than just another book on leadership. Inside, we journey through many different leadership styles, theories, and approaches to see which of these we possess and how to improve them. More than this, however, we will see where each style is found in the Bible so we can learn from God-inspired leaders.
