Overview:
The world needs better leaders. They are especially needed in the church. This book is a classic and has been used by many to develop leaders. It reveals what God looks for in a leader and how those called to leadership can get even better at what they do. As the principles of leadership are derived from Scripture, they seem counterintuitive by many of today's standards that seek only to capitalize on natural leadership.
Sanders quotes not only Scripture, but uses the biographies and life stories of many great people throughout history such as: David Livingstone, Charles Spurgeon, various missionaries, and past presidents. Truly, this is leadership wisdom found in every walk of life.
