Bible Teaching About Overview of Leadership Ebook

This sound and practical manual surveys the nature of Christian leadership. Definitions are given plus biblical examples. Three areas are detailed: the leader’s character, competence, and commitment to their people. Over 50 pages with bibliography. Excellent primer for pastors, administrators, students, parents – anyone in any arena of leadership. I use these in teaching seminary classes.
