Spiritual Leadership: A Biblical Theology of the Role of the Spirit in the Leadership of God's People

Publisher Description

How should we see the Spirit at work in spiritual leaders today? How did the Spirit work through spiritual leaders in the Bible? While many books on spiritual leadership look at the culture around us and offer sound advice from biblical principles, this study asks Scripture first what the Spirit did through spiritual leaders in the Bible in order to figure out what the Spirit should be doing through spiritual leaders today. --Spiritual Leadership helps fill a gap in church leadership materials. Too much of what is written today under the title of Christian or Spiritual Leadership is an attempt to mate secular thoughts with a few Bible verses. David Huffstutler, a respected pastor and scholar, provides church leaders with a source to pilot their leadership practices. A valuable tool for pastors and staff leadership to read.-- --Larry J.
