The book you hold resonates with this conviction: that leaders such as
you have the potential to be the most influential forces on planet
Earth. Yours is the staggering responsibility and the matchless
privilege of rallying believers and mobilizing their spiritual gifts in
order to help people who are far from God become fully devoted
followers of Christ. Life transformation and the eternal destinies of
real people depend on the redemptive message entrusted to the local
church. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to lead your church
effectively so God?s message of hope can change the world? Then this
book is for you.
Courageous Leadership is Bill Hybels? magnum
opus, a book far too important to be written before its time. Only now,
after nearly thirty years leading his own church from a handful of
people with a burning vision into a globe-spanning kingdom force?only
after almost three decades of victories and setbacks, of praying hard
and risking big?is Hybels ready at last to share the lessons he has
learned, and continues to learn, about Christian leadership.
Too
much is at stake for you not to maximize your spiritual gift of
leadership, insists Hybels. In this passionate, powerful book, he
unpacks the tools, tasks, and challenges of your calling. You?ll
discover the power of vision and how to turn it into action. You?ll
gain frontline insights for developing a kingdom dream team,
discovering your leadership style, developing other leaders, making
decisions, walking with God, embracing change, staying your God-given
course, and much, much more. Drawing on his own richly varied life
experiences, Hybels fleshes out vital principles with riveting
firsthand stories.
This is far more than another book on
leadership strategies and techniques. You?ll find those topics in here,
to be sure. But beyond them, you?ll find the very essence of one of
today?s foremost Christian leaders?his fervent commitment to evangelism
and discipleship and his zeal to inspire fellow church leaders even as
he seeks to keep growing as a leader himself.
If unchurched
people matter to you . . . if you love seeing believers serve
passionately with their spiritual gifts . . . if God?s heartbeat for
the church is your heartbeat as well . . . then this book is a must.
Courageous Leadership will convince you to lead with all your might,
all your skill, and all your faith. And it will give you the tools to
do just that.
