These elements of character form the framework from which MacArthur details the qualifications and responsibilities of effective leaders, no matter if they are full-time staff members or Christians seeking to serve God at church, home, work, and with friends.… (more)

A good practical book on biblical leadership. ( )

Uses Acts and the life of Paul as a model for Biblical leadership. Far superior to most Christian leadership books. ( )

John MacArthur does an excellent job in this book delving into the life of Paul, and drawing out priciples of spiritual leadership. I took some issue with some things he said in the introduction regarding using worldly examples of leadership, however, I understand the point he was trying to make. Later in the book, he actually does use some secular examples to illustrate the biblical point he is making.

I get the impression that this book was written in response to John Maxwell's leadership books. I think it rather makes a good companion volume to them.

The portion of the book that deals with Paul's shipwreck on Malta was especially interesting. Besides gaining some good insights about leadership, I also leared a lot I did not know about first-century navigation.
