Synopsis
You may think this book is expensive compared to other ones similar in size. It is. The main reason for that is because we chose to have it print in color. All words of Jesus in the book are in red. We believe that it was important to choose this option because that is the whole premise of the book—taking leadership lessons from the “red letters.” Although we also write about passages that account for situations around Jesus’ life and the people that were pivotal in His life, those passages wouldn’t have the wisdom they do without the red letters. We pray that the price of the book does not deter you from the value that it will offer you for years to come.

Jordan Ames, Ben Hunter, and Eric Albright share leadership lessons from the Gospel accounts of Jesus through their compelling perspectives from over six decades of service in the special operations, infantry, and aviation communities of the military with 22 overseas deployments. Leadership principles are timeless, cross-cultural, and cross-functional. When God made man in His image, He also gave us the ability to lead each other and work with each other to accomplish common purposes. Whether we are leading in the family team, a community team, a workplace team, a government team, or a sports team, we are leaders and are positioned to advance God’s kingdom through our leadership.
370+ lessons taken from the Gospel accounts of Jesus to grow your leadership capacity and draw you closer to the greatest leader that ever lived.
With a leadership lesson drawn from every passage (or pericope) from Matthew chapter 1 through John chapter 21, this is arguably the most comprehensive study ever completed on the leadership of Jesus and it's available to you in a single volume. This book draws lessons from Jesus' words, His example, and the many different situations that surrounded His life and the people He encountered.
