Leadership. There is a lot of confusion around it. And when it comes to Christian leadership, perhaps even more so.
Do leaders simply serve the wants of those they lead? Is it
appropriate for Christian leaders to adopt or adapt secular leadership
thinking? What exactly is leadership, and how is it most faithfully
exercised in the way of Jesus?
Drawing together best insights from historical and contemporary
sources, along with his own experience of leadership, Ian Parkinson
offers an essential resource for all those wanting to understand
Christian leadership, and grow as a leader.
'Understanding Christian Leadership is a tour de force. It is
comprehensive and informed, theological and practical, theoretical and
workable... Read it on your own, both sitting down and on your knees,
read it with others so you can learn together and hold each other to
what God calls you to together, and read it for the sake of those you
are called to.'
Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury
