Steven Croft, the next Bishop of Oxford, traces the nature and the exercise of leadership throughout the Bible in its record of ambitious rulers, reluctant prophets and others who found themselves called to leadership positions.
He offers timeless wisdom and insight into human nature and the challenge and privilege of leadership.
An ideal spiritual companion for all Christians who exercise leadership in the church or at work or in their communities, The Gift of Leadership focuses on such themes as:
* Beginning well – orientation
* Learning to see – vision
* Godly leadership – self-giving
* Sowing the word – fruitfulness
* Leading change – pioneering
* Rediscovering time – Sabbath
Reflective yet substantive, this is a book to return to again and again for renewal and refreshment.
Steven Croft is the Bishop of Oxford and one of the principal architects of Pilgrim, the Church of England’s bestselling discipleship series. He is the author of a number of books and was previously the Warden of Cranmer Hall, Durham and the first national team leader of Fresh Expressions.
