What are the defining characteristics of a Christian leader?
Far too many churches and parachurch organizations operate blindly, relying on principles and strategies from the secular world. Driven by his desire to counter this trend, Aubrey Malphurs, an expert in the field of leadership, first sets out a practical definition of Christian leadership, supporting it with Scripture and examples from his extensive studies of the subject. He then offers you the personal challenge of identifying and developing leadership in your ministry.
The author goes on to unequivocally describe the distinctive traits of the Christian leader: his commitment to Christ, his compassion, his credibility, his servant attitude and the disciples who follow him. Each chapter ends with a list of questions to encourage reflection and discussion. Finally, the appendices present several questionnaires designed to help you assess the strengths and weaknesses of your leadership as well as its style, the ideal context for exercising your ministry and much more.
