Synopsis
"God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong." (1 Corinthians 1:27)Those in Christian leadership might suspect that this verse invalidates the day-to-day reality of their ministries. They often feel that they must project strength and certainty in order to preach and minister credibly. But does this run counter to a Christian vision of leadership?John Stott fears that too many Christian leaders have uncritically adopted secular models of leadership. The antidote, he contends, is a biblical approach to servant leadership, exemplified by the apostle Paul in his ministry to the church in Corinth. This book provides a clear articulation of the nature of leadership as well as the thoughtful study of Scripture we have come to expect from John Stott.Considered by many to be the elder statesman of evangelical Christianity, John Stott is himself a premier example of Paul's vision of humility and grace in Christian leadership. His insights here will encourage younger generations to follow in his steps, serving the church with the love of Christ.

About the Author
John R. W. Stott (1921–2011) was known worldwide as a preacher, evangelist, and communicator of Scripture. For many years he served as rector of All Souls Church in London. A leader among evangelicals in Britain, the United States, and around the world, Stott was a principal framer of the landmark Lausanne Covenant (1974). His connections in and heart for the global church led him to found Langham Partnership. Langham continues its work today, equipping key leaders to preach God's Word clearly, faithfully, and relevantly in over 140 countries. Stott's many books, including Basic Christianity and The Cross of Christ, have sold millions of copies.

Basic Christian Leadership: Biblical Models of Church, Gospel and Ministry
Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Leadership today is no easy task. Christian leaders called to shepherd others get caught in power struggles and are tempted to abuse their pastoral authority. Pastors feel that they must project strength and certainty in order to preach and minister credibly. Too often our models of leadership are shaped more by culture than by Christ. John Stott offers an alternative vision in this biblical approach to servant leadership, exemplified by the apostle Paul in his ministry to the church in Corinth. Above all, Stott reassures us that God is at work even in the midst of our human weakness. God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1 Corinthians 1:27 A clear articulation of the nature of leadership as well as the thoughtful study of Scripture we have come to expect from John Stott, this exposition of 1 Corinthians 1--4 offers us a model of ministry surprisingly relevant twenty centuries later: leadership rooted in humility and grace, serving the church with the love of Christ. Study guide included. Seller Inventory # CIN0830833226VG
