Book Synopsis Faith and Politics in the Life of Moses by : Preston Manning
Download or read book Faith and Politics in the Life of Moses written by Preston Manning and published by . This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a secular standpoint, Moses--one of the best-known religious and political leaders in history--encountered virtually every trial and circumstance that a modern political leader faces. At the same time, Moses was a political leader whose intimate relationship with Jehovah involved a sense of divine calling; numerous experiences with the miraculous; a constant effort to discern Jehovah's will with respect to governance; and the reception and interpretation of revelations of the character of God which profoundly affected his political and spiritual leadership. This book explores what contemporary Christians with political interests and ambitions might learn from his life.
Book Synopsis Religion and Contemporary Management by : Arthur J. Wolak
Download or read book Religion and Contemporary Management written by Arthur J. Wolak and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although few might think of Moses as a ‘leader’ in the contemporary business and political sense, Moses is not only among the most significant leaders in Western civilization but is also arguably the quintessential example of a powerful leader from whom much can be learned by anyone entering and occupying leadership positions. Various types of leadership approaches are considered that have been advocated by scholars over the past century. Moses’ example as described in the Bible is analyzed to assert why Moses’ approach makes for an appropriate and compelling form of leadership today. While present leadership and management vocabulary might differ from the Hebrew Bible, many of the notions advocated by modern leadership theorists appear to parallel major behaviors, traits, functions, experiences and actions ascribed to Moses, especially in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. Anyone can view Moses through the lens of a particular religion, whether shared or not, and still learn considerably from the experience. One will find Moses depicted as heroic, charismatic, and certainly empathic. Yet, Moses also shows transactional, transformational and visionary leadership qualities. Hence, ‘Religion and Contemporary Management’ discerns why Moses represents such an important model of effective leadership for contemporary times.

Book Synopsis Robert Parris Moses by : Laura Visser-Maessen
Download or read book Robert Parris Moses written by Laura Visser-Maessen and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most influential leaders in the civil rights movement, Robert Parris Moses was essential in making Mississippi a central battleground state in the fight for voting rights. As a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Moses presented himself as a mere facilitator of grassroots activism rather than a charismatic figure like Martin Luther King Jr. His self-effacing demeanor and his success, especially in steering the events that led to the volatile 1964 Freedom Summer and the formation of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, paradoxically gave him a reputation of nearly heroic proportions. Examining the dilemmas of a leader who worked to cultivate local leadership, historian Laura Visser-Maessen explores the intellectual underpinnings of Moses's strategy, its achievements, and its struggles. This new biography recasts Moses as an effective, hands-on organizer, safeguarding his ideals while leading from behind the scenes. By returning Moses to his rightful place among the foremost leaders of the movement, Visser-Maessen testifies to Moses's revolutionary approach to grassroots leadership and the power of the individual in generating social change.
Book Synopsis Moses the Reluctant Leader by : Ralph F Wilson
Download or read book Moses the Reluctant Leader written by Ralph F Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moses pioneered a Spirit-led leadership paradigm that Christian leaders do well to emulate today Moses didn't want to be a leader. He had been raised as a prince of Egypt, but now at 80, he was content to be a simple shepherd, watching sheep on the slopes of Sinai. Then, God spoke from the burning bush and Moses' world changed. How do you lead a multitude of people through impossible situations, badgered by a storm of criticism from within the camp, and threatened by deadly peril from without? Moses the reluctant leader has much to teach both disciples and leaders today. This Bible study leads you through Moses' life covering several chapters in each lesson so you can see the big picture. It slows down, however, to examine key passages in Exodus and Numbers that give insight into God's instruction to Moses. One lesson surveys the tabernacle, the priesthood, and the sacrifices that God revealed through Moses. This book explores Moses' life in 9 lessons with discussion questions, and can be used for personal enrichment, by small groups and classes, and by teachers and preachers for sermon preparation.

Book Synopsis Politics in the Bible by : Paul R. Abramson
Download or read book Politics in the Bible written by Paul R. Abramson and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is fundamental to Western culture. Political philosophers from Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau to modern political theorists such as George H. Sabine, Leo Strauss, and Sheldon S. Wolin have drawn upon biblical examples. American political leaders, such as Thomas Paine, Abraham Lincoln, and William Jennings Bryan all drew heavily upon the Bible. Today, most contemporary politicians display less familiarity with Scripture although many proudly proclaim themselves to be born-again Christians. Politics in the Bible has a simple goal: to help readers to think critically about how the Bible illuminates understanding of justice, leadership, and politics. For a political scientist, there are great advantages to studying the Bible. Students of the Bible have short texts to analyze, but they have a history of two thousand years of Jewish and Christian scholarly discussion. In that tradition, Paul R. Abramson analyzes stories drawn from eighteen of the thirty-nine books of the Hebrew Bible and fifteen of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament. Abramson argues that the Bible is a book that should be read even by those who do not believe it has any transcendent significance. One can choose to read it as the revealed word of God, as a source of Western morality, as a compilation of interesting stories, poetry, and history, or as a work of great literature. Although this book discusses selected stories that have political implications, it also considers parts that have literary merit. This unusual volume may stimulate new thinking about the Bible as a source of insight into political ideas.

Book Synopsis Faith, Leadership and Public Life by : Preston Manning
Download or read book Faith, Leadership and Public Life written by Preston Manning and published by Castle Quay Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connection between faith, leadership and public life is a complex one as Preston Manning knows all too well from his years as a scout and trailblazer on Canada’s political frontiers. Now, in his new book Faith, Leadership and Public Life: Leadership Lessons from Moses to Jesus he fearlessly tackles this subject by drawing upon his own years in Canada’s parliament and political arena and upon relevant lessons to be learned from the public lives of the founding giants of Judaism and the Christian faith. Starting with the public life of Jesus himself, he also draws upon the experience of those leaders whom Jesus most frequently referenced such as Moses and David, as well as examining the lives of leaders such as Joseph and Daniel who were called upon to exercise their faith in societies and political systems hostile to their beliefs. He challenges people of faith today to learn from their examples about how to conduct ourselves responsibly at the faith-political interface, while bringing what Jesus called “salt and light” to bear on the political issues and structures of our times. If you are a person of faith, currently active in politics or leadership, or contemplating involvement in either, the following pages will help you in meeting those challenges.

Download or read book Moses written by Garry D. Bruner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is without controversy—without debate and without further undue discussion, according to Hebrews under the Old Covenant, Jews of the New Covenant, and Israelis of today—that Moses was the greatest leader of their long storied and varied history. From his miraculous deliverance from the Nile River as a Hebrew baby to the incredible day the Lord Himself buried him on Mount Hebron, the life of Moses can be distinguished in three separate forty-year periods. Birth to forty years of age: his birth, early life, and training for leadership in Egypt Forty to eighty years of age: his life in the Midian Desert as a shepherd of his father-in-law’s sheep until his miraculous call on the backside of the mountain by a burning bush Eighty to one hundred twenty years of age: his latter life called and orchestrated by God as the deliverer of the children of Israel from the land of Goshen to the boundary of the Promised Land of Canaan His leadership abilities and his capabilities should be studied, examined, and emulated by this generation of people who have been called into kingdom leadership positions by our King Father, authorized by the King Son, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This study seeks to chronicle and quantify the life, leadership style, characteristics, qualities, and capabilities of Moses, an important leader of not only Hebrew history but also world history.
