New Book on Christian Leadership Examines How Fearing God Builds Stronger Leaders
Why do some leaders stay the course while others fall into abuse, deception, and immorality? The Bible gives a clear answer by grounding every leadership skill in one quality: the fear of the Lord. In "Leading from the Foundation Up," Cook and Parker offer the only book focused on Christian leadership philosophy and practice rooted in reverential awe. Standing on this foundation, they walk readers through the elements of leadership that help followers flourish. Developing and seasoned leaders alike will benefit from this unique biblical approach as they grow in character and ability.
While there are many contemporary works addressing aspects of Christian leadership, this is the first to ground leadership values and practices in the scriptural bedrock of the fear of the Lord. If the fear of the Lord is truly the heart of godliness, then leaders and fellow followers of Christ will find a firm foundation only in a gospel-founded awe of God.
