The need for talented, vigorous leaders in the church cannot be overemphasized. We need men and women who are guided by and devoted to Jesus Christ.

Spiritual Leadership stands as a proven classic for developing such leadership. J. Oswald Sanders, a Christian leader for nearly seventy years, presents the key principles of leadership in both the temporal and spiritual realms. He illustrates his points with examples from Scripture and biographies of eminent men of God, such as Moses, Nehemiah, the apostle Paul, David Livingstone, Charles Spurgeon, and others.

You'll learn about:


- The cost of leadership
- The responsibility of leadership
- Tests of leadership
- The qualities and criteria of leadership
- The art of reproducing leaders
- The one indispensable requirement of leadership

Even natural leadership qualities are God-given, and their true effectiveness can only be reached when they are used to the glory of God. Those who want to lead with God's blessing, cannot ignore this book.

Let this classic be your guide for leadership, and watch how God works through you to do great things for His glory.
