Pastors face two temptations when they consider church leadership. One, common in more culturally conservative churches, is to preach faithfully and assume that alone is adequate Christian leadership. The other, prevalent in more culturally contemporary churches, is to apply secular business wisdom uncritically. The books published reflect these two camps, both of which drive a wedge between the Bible and leadership. What if the gift of leadership was a clear outworking of biblical teaching? What if there is a consistent pattern in the Bible of human communities flourishing under the good rule of God's Word? Drawing on years of teaching and ministry, Chris Green shows us how, as Mike Ovey put it, Christian leaders can be God's best possible gift to flourishing communities.
