This
book looks at Jesus' three years of ministry with new eyes. It explores the
eight key facets of leadership that made his mission so effective. His leadership
was spiritual, visionary, flexible, story-centred, team-based, risking, action-oriented,
and authentic. There are stories and more stories, because we Christians are
above all story people. It has some specific "how-to-do-it" advice,
recognizing that every situation is different and requires a unique approach.
But above all, this book is a prayer for the church, that it become the place
of spiritual support our grandchildren need as they take on the challenges of
a future world we can hardly imagine. That is the way we hope people will read
it - with a candle burning as a reminder of God's presence, and a passion burning
in their hearts for a church that is dedicated to the primary task Jesus left
his followers - transforming lives into everything God intends them to be.
Jesus leadership was so effective it changed the world. What kind of leadership
did he offer? Would that leadership model be effective today? Our answer is
YES!
