Wisdom in Leadership The how and why of leading the people you serve

You're in Christian ministry. Are you a Bible-and-theology person or a leadership-and-management person? Craig Hamilton saw himself as a Bible guy (and still does!), but he also noticed that groups of people in God's world function in predictable ways that he could learn from and harness for their benefit. He realized that being a theology person also requires being a leadership person, and that leadership and management principles aren t necessarily godless pragmatism but can be about living with gospel-shaped wisdom and loving our neighbour. This book is a goldmine of helpful insights for pastors and anyone else with leadership responsibilities in their church. With 78 chapters covering an extensive range of topics, this may well be the only book on leadership you ll ever need. "Reading this book won't make Christian leadership easy. But it will make it easier. The strategies and principles here won't remove all frustration from Christian leadership. But they will make it less frustrating. This book won't solve every problem. But it will help you solve a whole bunch of unnecessary problems that you really don't need to face." (Craig Hamilton, author)
