āI like this book! It is plain talk drawn from the stories of eight strong leaders in the Bible, including Jesus, and is filled with practical illustrations and cautions from today. The convincing argument is to center our lives and leadership strategies on our faith in our Lord. There is a logical progression of lessons, candor about how hard leadership is, and great application questions. You will like it and benefit!ā
