Leading Like Jesus (ePub)

An essential book for everyone in Christian leadership of any kind.

"Leading like Jesus is a call to radically rethink our approach to Christian leadership. Whether you are just starting out in Christian leadership or a veteran leader of 30 years, it casts a compelling vision for how to re-shape your leadership in ways which are sustainable and Christ-centred. Grounded in rich stories of the disciples' encounters with Jesus, it invites us to overturn almost everything we have learned about authority, position, power and influence, calling us, instead, to follow in the footsteps of the Radical Rabbi." (Sarah Whitehead, Graduate School Projects Manager, Australian College of Ministries.)

"This book is both edifying and profoundly disturbing. It shines a light on the dysfunctional leadership trends that have infiltrated the contemporary church in recent times and points the way forward for personal and corporate reform." (Dr. Dennis Nutt, Associate Professor of History, Sydney College of Divinity.)

"Kevin and Keith have served the church so wonderfully in this challenging and inspiring book. They have convincingly exposed the failure of the CEO model of church leadership and profoundly put before us the servant model of the One who gave his life for us. I found myself prayerfully seeking the transforming work of the Spirit in my own life and ministry as I read, that I might grow in the likeness of Jesus day by day. This will be a significant book for all pastors to read and I pray it will have a great impact on the future leadership of the church." (The Right Reverend Mark Calder, Bishop of Bathurst, the Anglican Church of Australia.)
