Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'If this is not heaven, I do not know what heaven is, for all the suffering that can ever be put into words, could not enable anyone to earn such a reward and for ever possess it.' A central figure in Christian mystical literature, the Dominican Prior Henry Suso was the author of the seminal work The Life of the Servant. Transcribed by an enlightened amanuensis without his explicit consent, Suso began burning the manuscript until a heavenly missive from God decreed that the text should be spared further desecration. The remaining fragments of that conflagration are vividly resurrected in this volume, elegantly translated by James M. Clark. Suso's subjective account of the spiritual and invisible world, told in prose of unsurpassed poetic beauty, is reflective of the ardent spirituality of his devotion. Informed by severe mortifications, visions, ecstasies and revelations, this canonical text endures as a sublime cultural artefact. Resonating profoundly with contemporary concerns about austerity and materialism, this classic text of mysticism is once again accessible to a new generation of readers and to those existing admirers seeking to re-evaluate its many virtues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Global Servant-Leadership: Wisdom, Love and Legitimate Power in the Age of Chaos, leadership scholars and practitioners from around the globe share their insights on servant-leadership philosophy, representing diverse contexts and cultures, and reflecting a variety of approaches to servant-leadership through cutting-edge research, conceptual models, and practice-oriented case studies. The contributors to this collection address some of the most significant leadership challenges of the twenty-first century to reveal a path toward more healthy and sustainable individuals, families, organizations, and nations. Global Servant-Leadership challenges not only the rigidly held assumptions of traditional, hierarchical leadership approaches, but provides an antidote to the cynicism so often present within workplaces, political struggles, and individual and family crises of contemporary polarized nation states.

Download or read book Servants of the Servant written by Don N. Howell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-11-14 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership is a subject that has gained impressive visibility in the past two decades. The number of books, monographs and articles, as well as seminars, devoted to the development of one's leadership skills has been almost exponential growth. This study is an attempt to forge a full-orbed theology of Christian leadership grounded in the teaching of Scripture. What emerges from tracing the theme of leadership through the biblical record is a servanthood pattern, one that is wholly distinct from prevailing secular models. Our exposition begins with the biblical language of the servant, the term of choice for those great leaders used of God to further his saving purposes in the world. Eleven Old Testament and five New Testament leaders are profiled. The portrait of Jesus Christ focuses on three motifs that governed his training of the twelve for kingdom ministry. The Pauline letters are mined for those convictions that governed Paul's practice of leadership, both of his mission team and of the faith communities that emerged from that mission. The treatment of each leader, from Joseph to Paul, begins with a series of preliminary questions and concludes with a mini-profile that correlates the biblical data with these questions. The final chapter offers a summary profile of the servant leader, one whose character, motives and agenda align with the divine purposes. Though designed as a textbook for upper level college and seminary courses on leadership, the book's readable format is ideal for churches and parachurch organizations in their leadership training programs. The author's prayer is that this work will serve as a catalyst to call God's people back to Scripture and thereby raise up a whole new generation of authentic servant-leaders.

Book excerpt: In April of 1860, on her 17th birthday, Anne's father gave her Wexford, a 15,000-acre cotton and tobacco plantation. He also gave her a new body servant, whom Anne named Moragan. Moragan is not a conventional slave. She is about 10, Irish, and has a habit of speaking her mind - a trait that annoys Anne profoundly! Moragan, does not know the rules and conventions of being a slave - much less being a body servant, so Anne trains her. It is not an easy task for either one of them, and Moragan is certain her behind will be completely worn away before she learns to behave! As America begins to fall apart at the seams, Anne and Moragan begin to forge a completely different relationship. Moragan runs Wexford House for Anne, and she learns what it means to be a slave from both perspectives: owner and owned. Anne always reminds Moragan that she and all the other servants are only stock, and not 'people'. Both of them are products of their time: and as Anne learns how to govern the society under her, she and Moragan discover who they truly are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the seminal work of Robert K. Greenleaf, a former AT&T executive who coined the term almost thirty years ago, servant-leadership emphasizes an emerging approach to leadership—one which puts serving others, including employees, customers, and community, first. The Power of Servant Leadership is a collection of eight of Greenleaf's most compelling essays on servant-leadership. These essays, published together in one volume for the first time, contain many of Greenleaf's best insights into the nature and practice of servant-leadership and show his continual refinement of the servant-as-leader concept. In addition, several of the essays focus on the related issues of spirit, commitment to vision, and wholeness.

Book excerpt: A COVER-UP OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS... Centuries ago, English translators perpetrated a fraud in the New Testament, and it’s been purposely hidden and covered up ever since. Your own Bible is probably included in the cover-up! In this book, which includes a study guide for personal or group use, John MacArthur unveils the essential and clarifying revelation that may be keeping you from a fulfilling—and correct—relationship with God. It’s powerful. It’s controversial. And with new eyes you’ll see the riches of your salvation in a radically new way. What does it mean to be a Christian the way Jesus defined it? MacArthur says it all boils down to one word: SLAVE “We have been bought with a price. We belong to Christ. We are His own possession.” Endorsements: "Dr. John MacArthur is never afraid to tell the truth and in this book he does just that. The Christian's great privilege is to be the slave of Christ. Dr. MacArthur makes it clear that this is one of the Bible's most succinct ways of describing our discipleship. This is a powerful exposition of Scripture, a convincing corrective to shallow Christianity, a masterful work of pastoral encouragement...a devotional classic." - Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "John MacArthur expertly and lucidly explains that Jesus frees us from bondage into a royal slavery that we might be His possession. Those who would be His children must, paradoxically, be willing to be His slaves." - Dr. R.C. Sproul "Dr. John MacArthur's teaching on 'slavery' resonates in the deepest recesses of my 'inner-man.' As an African-American pastor, I have been there. That is why the thought of someone writing about slavery as being a 'God-send' was the most ludicrous, unconscionable thing that I could have ever imagined...until I read this book. Now I see that becoming a slave is a biblical command, completely redefining the idea of freedom in Christ. I don't want to simply be a 'follower' or even just a 'servant'...but a 'slave'." - The Rev. Dr. Dallas H. Wilson, Jr., Vicar, St. John's Episcopal Chapel, Charleston, SC

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Than a Servant by author Darryl L. Rivers takes place in the life of every Christian believer that is, or will be part of todays workplace environment.?With sound Biblical examples and some shared real life experiences, Darryl provides readers with great insight on the right now realities of being Christ like while at work, and some foundational foresight to guide the expectations we have of our employers. With chapter topics ranging from becoming The Standard, and Avoiding Rebellion to Position is Not Enough, Rivers challenges readers to communicate their belief by performance and perseverance in lieu of preaching the Gospel in the workplace. A brief excerpt from More Than a Servant Chapter Five (Planting vs. Performing) pg. 59 We have been armed with the information that all will not accept our faith. This is not an open invitation to not sow, but a piece of wisdom to guard your heart. Whenever seed has been sown, we cannot place our expectation as a measuring rod to gauge our future performance. We must look for the revelation in what is uncovered in our sowing. The quality of the soil will be exposed based on our sowing, yet a decrease in performance should never be the result of Gods revelation process. Revelation is purposed to bring you into a position to manifest Gods glory, not to put a device in your heart the will limit your potential to be great in your career, profession, or current assignment. More Than a Servant is an easy read that is readily applicable to the working Christian. A revolutionary guide to operating as a true servant of God while working in the wilderness of todays world.

Download or read book The Secret Sauce of Servant Leadership written by Dr. Peter K. Scheuermann and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-10 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secret Sauce of Servant Leadership was borne out of the desire to help others quickly ignite and launch servant leadership characteristics and attributes into a leader's style and approach to influencing and leading people, not employees. This book applies to all industries and cultures across the globe. The book is structured by first defining a leadership concept, then learning about examples of modern-day leaders' and organizations who display and live out servant leadership characteristics in their approach, and then how this can be applied in other organizations. The author takes time in covering such topics as what is servant leadership, defining one's purpose, living out one's values, building a high-performance culture, creating trust, and sustaining long-lasting relationships, developing and sustaining a servant leader's character, and finally the most important of all, love, the love of people. The last two chapters provide a 360-servant leadership assessment example and how servant leadership can be integrated and applied in workplace leadership programs. The hope of the author is that the reader will quickly gain an understanding of servant leadership characteristics, achieve insights into the examples of both individual and organizations provided, and then immediately start incorporating these principles within their leadership approach, in turn, helping others to become servant leaders.
