This is one of the best leadership books I’ve ever read. It’s about two leaders who changed the world: Nehemiah and Paul. Nehemiah lived in the 5th century BC. He rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem after the Babylonian Empire had destroyed it. Paul lived in the 1st century AD. He wrote much of the New Testament and planted churches that spread Christianity throughout the world. Both of these efforts took tremendous leadership.
John MacArthur taught the Bible for over 50 years at Grace Community Church in California. He explains leadership principles that are implied in the stories, such as trustworthiness and discipline. The resources and the teacher (who was a respected leader) make the book a really helpful guide to those who want to lead well.
While the Bible is not primarily a book about leadership, it contains stories of leaders whose lives are worthy of examination.
What leadership principle interested you the most?
