<transcy>Being Leaders: the nature of authentic Christian Leadership (Être leaders) </transcy>
What are the defining characteristics of the Christian leader?
Far too many churches and para-ecclesiastical organizations operate blindly, relying on principles and strategies from the secular world. Spurred on by his concern to counter this trend, leadership expert Aubrey Malphurs first articulates a working definition of Christian leadership, supported by the scriptures and examples from his in-depth studies of the subject. It then offers you a personal challenge of determining and developing leadership in your ministry.
The author goes on to describe unequivocally the hallmarks of the Christian leader: his commitment to Christ, his compassion, his credibility, his attitude as a servant and the followers who follow him. Each chapter ends with a list of questions for reflection and discussion. Finally, the appendices present several questionnaires designed to help you assess the strengths and weaknesses of your leadership as well as its style, the ideal context for exercising your ministry and much more.
