Book Synopsis Biblical Servant Leadership by : Steven Crowther
Download or read book Biblical Servant Leadership written by Steven Crowther and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the concepts from Scripture for Servant leadership and compare these findings with contemporary models of servant leadership. It is an examination of Christian leadership for the contemporary world in its global and increasing secular context. Leadership studies typically view leadership externally from the results. This is a good beginning but leadership needs to also view the inside of leadership in the person of the leader. Scripture is uniquely qualified in this area since its first concern is the person who leads not just in leadership behaviors. The author uses examples from both the Old and New Testament to establish a new shepherd model of leadership that moves beyond the servant mode to the mode of caring direction. This model will provide scholars and researchers as well as leaders themselves with a way of leading that overcomes negative forms of leadership which lead to failure.

Book Synopsis Servants of the Servant by : Don N. Howell Jr.
Download or read book Servants of the Servant written by Don N. Howell Jr. and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-11-14 with total page 314 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Synopsis The Quest for Gender Equity in Leadership by : KeumJu Jewel Hyun
Download or read book The Quest for Gender Equity in Leadership written by KeumJu Jewel Hyun and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The call for gender equity in leadership has become a global concern. From a Christian perspective, all forms of gender prejudice are sinful because they violate God's intention for creating both men and women in God's image. Although many Christian authors have published books and journal articles to address gender-based injustice, very few publications have approached the subject from an African perspective. This book is meant to fill the existing gap. With a specific reference to the African context, this book explores the phenomenon of equity in leadership from various dimensions, such as African culture and traditional religion, church tradition, biblical interpretation, as well as from the perspective of contemporary socio-economic and political realities in Africa. By giving vivid examples of success stories of men and women working together, the authors have demythologized the view that women cannot be leaders. In addition, this book is intended for general readership by Christian men and women throughout the globe. For universities and colleges that teach gender studies as a subject, the book can serve as a class text or reference resource. Seminaries and theological institutions will also find it handy for training and mentoring Christians to promote equity in the church, ministry, business, and family.

Download or read book Lords Or Servants written by Jim Reeves and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2013-01-24 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lords or Servants is a refreshing look at the Scriptures as they reveal God's plan for leadership in the church. Learn what the Scriptures say about authority in the church. What are the various leadership roles in the church and how are they to be administered? What is the meaning of ""servant leadership? Learn the answers to many questions regarding God's plan for leadership in His church. To most people the term ""servant leadership"" is an oxymoron. In virtually every culture, servants are not leaders and leaders are never considered lowly servants. Yet, that is the concept Jesus introduced as the pattern for His Church. While most religious leaders often use the term, their leadership style is often far from the Biblical model of a servant leader. The concept in Scripture comes from the ancient cultural role of ""elders"" in extended family structures and one of the most common occupations of the day, tending sheep. The term ""elder"" by definition, simply refers to an older person in years. It was not a position to which one was appointed or elected, rather one earned by living a long time (hence the term ""elder"") and earning the respect of the extended family to represent them in whatever issues arose that needed a family representative. Elders in New Testament churches were appointed by the apostles or preachers to serve as ""bishops"" or ""overseers,"" but they were ""elders"" because they were the older, respected members of the church community, hence ones whom others would admire and follow. The role of the older person (elder) selected to a leadership role in the church was that of a ""pastor"" or ""shepherd."" Both of these terms referred to one who tends sheep. Nobody in Old or New Testament times would have thought of a shepherd as a person of authority who occupied a great position of leadership. Exactly the opposite. Shepherds occupied one of the lowest rungs on the social order of the day. They were servants...usually tending someone else's sheep. They had no authority over anyone. They did not even ""command"" the sheep, because that is impossible. Anyone who knows the nature of sheep knows they cannot be commanded or driven. However, a gentle, loving shepherd who earns their respect and trust can lead sheep anywhere. This is precisely why the Apostle Peter said to the early church leaders, ""Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock."" Lords or Servants examines in detail the Biblical concept of servant leadership, specifically the role of elders, deacons, and ministers in the local church. It is a concept that is foreign to our modern culture, but the only one that works. Most church problems are a result of the perversion of God's leadership style. Discussions about positions of authority are as out of place in the church of our Lord today as similar discussions would have been in a group of shepherds during Biblical times. All authority in heaven and on earth belongs to the King of Kings...Jesus. The rest of us are servants in His kingdom. Lords or Servants just may give you an entirely new view of leadership in all areas of life. It is the model of the Son of God... worth emulating. Lords or Servants is recommended for all Christians, not just leaders.

Book Synopsis The 18Inch Principle by : Mike Burnard
Download or read book The 18Inch Principle written by Mike Burnard and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book does not provide neutral ground. Once youve read it, you either hate it and reject it, or you love and embrace it. The 18 Inch Principle confronts us with a U-turn in the field of missions. Church and missions are not two separate realities: missions is constitutive to the Church. The very existence of the Church is missional. However, for Mike Burnard, mission is not entertainment, religious tourism, professional speeches, or philanthropic projects. Drawing from Biblical principles and a long experience with the persecuted Church, Mike argues convincingly that mission is both the embodiment of the Gospel in the life of every true believer and a clear proclamation of the Gospel to a lost world. Willingness to endure persecution, suffering and martyrdom for the Gospel is the genuine mark of Biblical mission. Paul Negrut (PhD), Professor of Theology, Emanuel University of Oradea, Romania and Pastor of the Emanuel Baptist Church of Oradea, Romania I have finally finished reading the 18 Inch Principle. WOW! What an amazing, truthful book. I just wish every Christian could get their hands on a copy! I think the content of the book doesnt only apply to missions but to every God-fearing Christian. I have shed many tears throughout the book and after your conclusion I just wept. I have learnt a lot and it has been such a blessing to me! Gigi Raimbault, Student at Africa for Jesus Mission School One of the most profound books I have ever read. We are challenged in an unprecedented way to follow in the steps of Jesus. The commitment needed to bring in the end-time harvest is clearly spelled out. The plight of the lost millions without Jesus depends on our commitment to be obedient to a sacrificial lifestyle. Christo Walters, Missions mobiliser, Gauteng If you are looking for fluffy feel good, then this book is not for you! Be prepared for a challenging read that will evoke raw emotion, disagreement, agreement, inspiration, and hopefully action. We have been given all things, equipped, washed clean, for the work God has called all of us to do. Its time to leave the physical building we like to call the Church (but isnt) and get out there and get busy! So strap yourself in, have your pen and highlighter handy, take your time, and thank God for this amazing journey. Curt Vahle, Just a guy from Indianapolis, Indiana
Book Synopsis Biblical Leadership by : Matt Williams
Download or read book Biblical Leadership written by Matt Williams and published by Ambassador-Emerald, International. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sorry to say, many times leadership has been totally contrary to what the Bible teaches. Many leaders are focused on what they can get from their positions of authority, rather than on what they can give to the works in which they are involved. While some view it as a tool for popularity and power, leadership is a privilege. Leadership also requires responsibility. We need biblical leaders who are people of integrity and humility. Leaders who are willing to be different. This book is for men and women who make, or desire to make, an impact on others in the Body of Christ. Your biography, like those of the servant-leaders who have affected my life, is not likely to end up in a large Christian publication, much less in the Wall Street Journal, but you do find yourself in some position of leadership. Did you get your position of leadership because you have formal training in the field? That is possible. Perhaps you became a leader in your church, your school, or your ministry because you have acquired a storehouse of experience. Chances are that experience came on the field of battle. You learned as you went. Perhaps you are where you are because no one else would volunteer for the position. Maybe you lead because you signed on and automatically became the leader, ready or not! It is obvious that you cannot be a parent, a teacher, a preacher, a Sunday school officer, a Christian school administrator, a deacon, or a youth sponsor without functioning as a leader. It comes with the package. It is part of the deal. We may be the reluctant leaders, but, whether we love it, like it, or sigh heavily, we are the leaders God has chosen to use, and God gets His work done through us! God is getting His work done with willing servants, average people who are good followers of Christ. Amazing, isn't it?
