Product Description
What does it mean to be a leader? How does a person lead? And what are the features that distinguish leaders from other people in the organization, and their role from other roles or functions?
Based on years of proven experience and scholarly biblical insight, Tom Marshall opens up fresh perspectives on the essence of leadership. He describes how and why it is distinct from management, administration, or ministry and provides readers with the tools necessary to implement successful, long-term leadership.
Christian leaders will find clear guidance on topics such as foresight, trust, criticism, caring, status, timing, failure, honor, and the dangers of power. Packed with contemporary examples and New Testament truths, Understanding Leadership also identifies the critical capacities and characteristics of a leader. It emphasizes lifestyle, attitudes, and relationships, helping today's leaders foster interdependence while maintaining identity and integrity within their church, business, or community.

Excellent, Comprehensive Book on Christian Leadership,
By
This review is from: UNDERSTANDING LEADERSHIP: FRESH PERSPECTIVES ON THE ESSENTIALS OF NEW TESTAMENT LEADERSHIP (Paperback)
This book is one of the best titles I have read that applies specifically to Christian leaders. There are many works available that address leadership in general, but ones that give a uniquely Christian perspective are harder to find. Marshall has an excellent work here, and I recommend it highly to all Christian leaders. I especially recommend it to young pastors who are preparing for a life of service as a pastor.Everything rises and falls on good Christian leadership. In twenty years of pastoral ministry, I have seen many of Marshall's principles verified through my own mistakes and shortcomings. This book will be a great help in avoiding many of the pitfalls that plague Christian leaders.

A Life Saver,
By Don Boudreau "road dog" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Understanding Leadership (Paperback)
After many heart-wrenching experiences in ministry throughout the years and observing the spiritual abuse of power others wielded, this book has proven to be a life saver. It is a must read for any Christian and especially anyone that serves in any capacity of leadership. The Servant Leadership principles are fantastic as well as understanding the danger of power and how easily it can corrupt even the best intentions.While this is primarily a Christian leadership book the reality is that "truth" is "truth" and anyone can glean a wealth of it from this book and good principles that apply to everyone. Buy it! You won't be dissappointed. |
