Book Description

Conflicts with colleagues . . . The death of an employee . . . Personal devastation . . . Disruptive culture . . . Threats of violence . . . Lack of funds . . . Fear. You may be facing one--or all--of these challenges, and yet as a leader, you are called to be the one who guides, encourages, and equips others to be their best. Without a solid foundation, it will be difficult, if not impossible to stand up to these inevitable challenges, much less lead your people well. In Lead with FAITH, Sarah L. Johnson offers a practical framework for leadership that will strengthen and steady you as you face the giants in your path. You'll discover how FAITH can help you lead with grace and courage when you are Free to be authentic, Affirmed in your purpose, Intentional in your efforts, willing to embrace Transformation, and brave enough to lead with your Heart. In a culture that seeks to dilute the power of personal faith, the stories and guidance in Lead with FAITH will embolden you to rise up, slay fear, and serve well. "In Lead with FAITH, Sarah Johnson empowers readers to live aligned with their own story and to lead confidently with faith at work, at home, and in life." --Thomas C. Murray, author of Personal & Authentic, director of innovation, Future Ready Schools "Wherever you are on your journey, Johnson will inspire you to lead with more faith and less fear as you affirm your purpose in your daily work and life." --Jimmy Casas, educator, author, speaker, leadership coach "Lead with FAITH is full of Scripture, heart-wrenching stories, and useful tools that have readers making connections to their own lives and embarking on a journey of self-reflection." --Allyson Apsey, principal and author of Through the Lens of Serendipity

Book Description

This book brings the best of leadership theory and research together with biblical reflection and examples of leadership in action to offer a practical guide to Christian leaders. Combining expertise in leadership studies and biblical studies, Justin Irving and Mark Strauss explore how leadership models have moved from autocratic and paternalistic leader-centered models toward an increased focus on followers. The authors show how contemporary theories such as transformational leadership, authentic leadership, and servant leadership take an important step toward prioritizing and empowering followers who work with leaders to accomplish organizational goals. Irving and Strauss organize their book around "nine empowering practices," making it accessible to students, church leaders, and business leaders. Integrating solid research in leadership studies with biblical and theological reflection on the leadership ideas that are most compatible with Christian faith, this book is an important resource for all Christian students of leadership.

Book Description

The shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, reignited a long-smoldering movement for justice, with many St. Louis-area clergy stepping up to support the emerging young leaders of today's Civil Rights Movement. Seminary professor Leah Gunning Francis was among the activists, and her interviews with more than two dozen faith leaders and with the new movement's organizers take us behind the scenes of the continuing protests. Ferguson and Faith demonstrates that being called to lead a faithful life can take us to places we never expected to go, with people who never expected us to join hands with them. Ferguson and Faith: Sparking Leadership and Awakening Community is the first book from the partnership of the Forum for Theological Exploration (FTE) and Chalice Press.

Book Description

Change the Way You Think about Leadership At the age of thirty-three, Dr. Albert Mohler became the youngest president in the 164-year history of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was the driving force behind the school's transformation into a thriving institution with an international reputation characterized by a passionate conviction for truth. In the process he became one of the most important and prominent Christian voices in contemporary culture. What will it take to transform your leadership? Effective leaders need more than administrative skills and vision. They need to be able to change the hearts and minds of those they lead. Leadership like this requires passionate beliefs that can stand up to pressure from without and within. In this updated edition Dr. Mohler has added a new introduction and conclusion based on an additional 10 years of leadership. He has also completely rewritten the chapter "The Digital Leader." The Conviction to Lead will crystallize your convictions while revolutionizing your thinking, your decision-making, your communication, and ultimately, those you lead. "Dr. Al Mohler has written a book that shakes us up and challenges our thinking. The Conviction to Lead is poised to become one of the all-time classic works on Christian leadership."--JIM DALY, President - Focus on the Family "Having rarely thought about leadership, I was hooked from the first chapter--to my complete surprise. This is a powerful book and gracefully written."--FRED BARNES, Executive Editor--The Weekly Standard

Book Description

Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 TIME cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking—and often withering—new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe. Taken all together, he shows atheism not merely to be implausible and intellectually sloppy, but now demonstrably ridiculous. Perhaps the only unanswered question on the subject is why we couldn’t see this sooner, and how embarrassed we should be about it.

Book Description

Leaders get the organizations they deserve. Effective leadership begins on the inside, and enduring leadership grows out of the leader's relationship with Christ. The Business of Faith brings to life timeless, practical biblical truths that every good leader must learn: - True leadership begins with self-leadership. - Effective conflict resolution transforms the workplace. - Fear limits our impact, while God's perfect love casts out fear. - Highly functional relationships at work change the culture. - Leaders who fight for unity produce enormous positive momentum. - Generous leaders are rare, refreshing, and deliver excellent ROI. - The ultimate benefit of generosity and mentorship is a culture of discipleship. Healthy leaders and organizations consistently demonstrate these behaviors. This type of biblical leadership is not easy. God's ways are not easy. But a faithful and abiding relationship with Christ is the key that unlocks the door to this kind of leadership. God enables and empowers personal transformation. Why? Because God wants your work to be His work. Biblical leaders have two goals. The first is to lead your organization well today. God has given you stewardship responsibility for the sake of others. The way you choose to live and lead will make a tangible difference in many lives, including the lives of people you don't even know. That is a high calling. The second goal is eternal, and it is directly related to your goal today. Everything you do at work has an eternal consequence. Jesus will dismiss the work that didn't matter. Everything we did with selfish motives will be discarded. However, all that we do for the glory of God and the benefit of others will last into eternity. God is the one calling you to be the greatest leader you can be. Don't miss out on the chance to participate in the work He has already prepared in advance for you to do. And you know that if God calls you, He will equip you. Leadership is both a privilege and a burden. God can and will change you if you let Him. And leaders changed by God change the world.
