A Life That Leads

A deeply pastoral invitation.... This book reminds us that leadership is not an exclusive realm for a select few. It is a calling woven into the very identity of every disciple of Jesus. REV. JOSEPH W. HANDLEY, JR., PHD, CEO, A3; catalyst for leader development, Lausanne Movement (from the afterword) How can we be the leaders that God calls us to be? That's what I love about Josh Benadum's A Life That Leads. It juggles the tensions between character and competence, so we can cultivate both the soul and the skills required to be a leader. This is a book for anyone wanting to transform their inner life and their outward leadership. SAM CHAN, fellow, The Keller Center for Apologetics; author, How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being THAT Guy) Like Josh himself, this book is both thoughtful and wise. In it, he paints a beautiful and balanced picture of healthy Christian leadership, inviting us into the confluence of character, competency, and intimacy with God-a great resource for everyday Christian leaders. BRIAN SANDERS, founder, Underground Network; author, The 6 Seasons of Calling In this well-written book, Josh Benadum presents leadership as a spiritual vocation rather than a professional role. He calls readers to cultivate the interior life from which enduring influence springs, envisioning leadership as an act of love, alignment, and creative service for the sake of the world.
