Narrative To Books Spiritual Leadership: Moving People on to God's Agenda
Best book I have read this year! Also one of the top leadership books I have read all time. One of the things I love about this book is that it is not geared just towards those in full-time ministry. Much of the book does address those in the pastorate, but many lessons and illustrations apply to the leader in any situation - secular or ministry. The main thought put forth is SPIRITUAL leadership in any setting.The authors must have emphasized dozens of times the importance of a spiritual leader staying close to God...have an intimate walk with the Father...knowing the will of God in situations before going forward. I loved it!
The format of the book was quite helpful. At the end of the chapter, a "Concepts & Scriptures for Consideration" section was included. Many of the key themes from that chapter were boiled down to single sentences to emphasis the truth contained therein. In addition, a list of many Scripture verses to study/consider when addressing the particular need.
The book addresses young leaders as well as older leaders. Personally, I was challenged nearly every chapter as the book really addresses what spiritual leadership is and what it is not. Too many of today's "Christian" leadership books boil leadership down to only what can be seen by others (known as buildings, bucks, & bodies). While the authors acknowledge if no one is following, one is not a leader, they propose a foundation that is Biblically strong.
The following are the chapter titles:
The Leader's Challenge
The Leader's Role: What Leaders Do
The Leader's Preparation: How God Develops Leaders
The Leader's Vision: Where Do Leaders Get it and How Do They Communicate It
The Leader's Character: A Life That Moves Others To Follow
The Leader's Goal: Moving People On to God's Agenda
The Leader's Influence: How Leaders Lead
The Leader's Decision Making
The Leader's Schedule: Doing What's Important
The Leader's Pitfalls: What Disqualifies Leaders
The Leader's Rewards
I would (and most likely will) give this book to any Christian I believe has leadership potential. It will only help them grow into the leader God would have them become!

This book would probably be fine if it were 1/3 of the length. But its so dry & boring; I just couldnt finish it.Out of all the books Ive read on leadership, I think this would be the first one I would hand to someone entering spiritual leadership. Maxwells 21 Laws would be second, but this would be first. So much valuable insight on what it means to be a leader who seeks Gods face and moves people in to His agenda.
Biblically solid and God-honoring view of leadership for Christians in ministry or secular leadership positions. Full of practical and wise advice.

A fine baselineI wouldn't call this a great book, but perhaps a great sampler platter of leadership. The book is far too broad to explore leadership principles very deeply, but it does provide an adequate survey of some of the character and skills needed in spiritual leadership.
Excellent leadership book
