Dynamic Spiritual Leadership
Leading like Paul by J. Oswald Sanders.
Do you aspire to be spiritual leader of men and women? You'll find no better example than the apostle Paul.
In this thorough and absorbing study of Paul's life, Sanders highlights the qualities that made Paul the great leader he was: his pioneering spirit,his powerful communication skills,his life of fervent prayer,his wholehearted devotion to Jesus Christ.
And his exalted view of God. Paul never got over the wonder that God trusted him so much. out of that profound sense of indebtedness flowed Paul's sincerely humbles self-image.
In Paul we find a inspiring example of what one person,wholly surrendered to God and committed to God's people,can achieve in one generation. But Paul's life was not an unattainable ideal: hew was merely human,a leader with weakness just like ours. Paul's triumphs,as well as his failures,provide valuable lessons in overcoming any obstacle in ministry.
Synopsis
J. Oswald Sanders probes Scripture to elicit principles and factors that inspired the dynamic spiritual leadership of Paul and the other apostles in the halcyon days of the church. Paul's letters reveal a frail, fallible man--one who fell and rose again--someone who can speak to our need. Because spiritual principles are timeless, we can learn to apply them to our own situations.
