Spirittual Leadership: Moving People on to God's Agenda
(B&H Publishing Group, 2011-11-21) Henry T. Blackaby; Richard Blackaby
To have released a book on leadership in 2001 seems, on reflection, to have been fortuitous. What followed the events of 9/11 was a decade-long societal debate about the desperate need for robust leadership in government, business, military, home, and church. Everyone had an opinion, and reams of additional books and theories hit bookstore shelves with tsunami-like vigor. We could not have known when we wrote the original version of Spiritual Leadership: Moving People On to God's Agenda in 2001 that it would be so widely and enthusiastically received. We have been truly overwhelmed by how God has used it to encourage leaders around the world. We have personally handed the book to world leaders. A group of state senators read the book a chapter a week and discussed it in the state capitol building. Bible colleges as widespread as in the USA, South Africa, and the Philippines have used it as a textbook. Pastors have approached us at conferences and shown us their dog-eared copies. Christian CEOs have used it as a guide to know how to lead their Fortune 500 companies to honor God. Parenting organizations as well as Christian school faculties have studied the book. We have been privileged to teach its truths on six continents. Since many new theories and books on leadership have emerged since this volume was first released, we were asked to update and expand it to address many of the issues and theories that have dominated leadership thinking in recent years.
