Synopsis

In Created to Be God's Friend, Henry Blackaby explored the life of Abraham, and in Chosen to Be God's Prophet, he examined God's work through Samuel. Now in Called to Be God's Leader, readers will see how God applies leadership principles in the life of the great biblical leader Joshua.

What did God have in mind when He saw Joshua as a young slave in Egypt? How did He mold and shape Joshua to prepare him for service? Through Joshua and numerous examples from their own lives, the authors create a picture of God's ways, offering deep insight that readers can apply to their own lives. Purpose, Obedience, Faith, Character, and Influence are among the themes that are included in the book; key truths are emphasized at the end of each chapter.

About this title

From AudioFile

This program tells the story of Joshua's flight from Egypt, the lessons he learned from Moses, and how he overcame adversity to become one of the most effective leaders in biblical times. Denying his own power and the advice of his contemporaries, he followed God's ideas on leadership as he moved his people through a time of great change. Drawing on the unyielding authority patterns so common in the Old Testament, these historical lessons are engaging as well as inspiring. J. Charles is informed and involved but keeps enough distance from the material to let the story maintain center stage. A compelling lesson for anyone interested in leadership and influence.
