Leadership in the Bible: A Practical Guide for Today
How would Abraham, Joseph, and Moses respond to the 40 most difficult situations you encounter in daily life?
Leadership in the Bible: A Practical Guide for Today is based on current thinking and research from the fields of management and psychology and provides guidance about how to respond to forty difficult situations you encounter in daily life. This guidance is grounded in the wisdom of three key biblical figures in Hebrew Scripture—Abraham, Joseph, and Moses. It explores how they coped with similar challenges and includes recommendations about how to respond to these situations at work or at home. Each chapter ends with an essential lesson, a lesson that was true thousands of years ago and remains so today.
