From the Back Cover:

To aspire to leadership is an honorable ambition. (1 Timothy 3:1 NEB)

The need for talented, vigorous leaders in the church today cannot be overemphasized. Such times demand the active service of men and women who are guided by God and devoted to Jesus Christ.

With more than 750,000 copies in print, Spiritual Leadership stands as a proven classic for developing such leadership. In these pages, J. Oswald Sanders presents the key principles of leadership in both the temporal and spiritual realms, illustrating his points with examples from Scripture and the biographies of eminent men of God (Moses, Nehemiah, Paul, David Livingstone, Charles Spurgeon, and others).

� The cost of leadership
� The responsibilities of leadership
� Tests of leadership
� The qualities and criteria of leadership
