More DescriptionIt conceptualizes leadership from a Christian philosophical world view. It is a product of divine inspiration, a meticulous search, and deepcontemplations; giving an exposition on leadership for a generalrealization of God's exceptional gift to mankind- Leadership("Rule and have dominion ..."). It avails every populous creature ofGod "within" and "without" the definite gesture for selfactualization,usefulness in life and accountability to God at the end of life. Italso exposes God's transcendence- His sovereignty and God's immanence - Hisdirect involvement in the running of the affairs of the universe in all dimensions ofhuman endeavours.This book is useful to both Christians in all fields of leadership (Church,Business, Politics, Industries, Home, etc.); and to non-Christians who also wish tohave the sense of worth, significance and accomplishment; exposing to them therealities of the Christian world view about leadership; which entails universalprinciples, if when applied will yield the same result; as: "God is not a respecter ofpersons".This it seeks to achieve through a cross examination of Christian baseduniversalprinciples with empirical undertones and through a cross-sectionalillustrations of Christian Leadership characters in the resent past. It seeks toawaken Christians from the stupor of mediocrity to arise and assume their place ofright. It epitomizes Jesus Christ as the yardstick for Christian leadership. It alsopresent a scholastic/ theological discourse on sensitive subjects like: Leadership vsFailure, Leadership vs the Absolute Questions, and Leadership vs the Problem ofEvil; this is an attempt to expose to the Christian leader, all he/ she needs to knowand to do, in order to be theologically sound, psychologically consistent and to bepractically resolute in the issues of life.
