Challenges of Christian Leadership: Practical Wisdom For Leaders, Interwoven With The Author'S Advice - Tapa blanda

I read this book slowly as a part of my devotional reading. As few books have done to me, I found my heart burning with things God was teaching me as I read. Often I had to stop to pray. There are challenges to leaders about commitment to Christ, to people, to personal discipline, and to several other things that make people good leaders. As a young person I learned many lessons about the lifestyle of a leader through the life and writings of John Stott. It is amazing how many of those lessons I am still using after almost four decades of ministry. This book has many such lessons that a young Christian leader can glean to help him or her become a biblical leader. --Ajith Fernando, author, speaker & Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka.

This is the most encouraging leadership book I have read in a long time! Simple without being simplistic, spiritually and theologically deep without being dense, accessible but not superficial, inspiring but not manipulative - it feels like a breath of fresh air. --Ruth Haley Barton, founding president, Transforming Center; author, 'Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership'

John Stott was a leader who never stopped learning. His posture of humility before God, before the Scriptures, before friends and even before enemies was one of his most remarkable traits. This set of lectures captures some of this spirit in a plain and compassionate way --Mark Labberton, president of Fuller Theological Seminary, author of 'The Dangerous Act of Loving Your Neighbor'

All Christian leaders face challenges. But God works in us, with us and through us to accomplish his eternal purposes. Here is practical wisdom from a much-respected leader speaking personally on: discouragement - how to persevere under pressure self-discipline - how to maintain spiritual freshness relationships - how to treat people with respect youth - how to lead when still comparatively young.
