 Superior January 1, 2009
Uses Acts and the life of Paul as a model for Biblical leadership. Far superior to most Christian leadership books.
 Great examples of Leadership April 23, 2008
John McArthur writes another good book, but this one moved a little slow and seemed to take too many pages to develop. However, a patient reader will get nuggets of pure gold from the illustrations used by the author.
Great practical, biblical leadership advice December 12, 2007
Excellent practical advice to be a more effective leader by studying the life of Paul. The 26 characteristics of a true leader with examples of each!
 Leadership in the style of the Apostle Paul July 4, 2007
This book gives you a history lesson on Paul and how he applied leadership in his life. While I enjoyed learning more about Paul and his leadership style, some parts of the book especially near the end became slow to read as if the author just wanted to complete the book.
A Very Helpful and Practical Guide on Godly Leadership May 8, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
MacArthur takes the reader through significant events in the life of Paul, beginning in Acts 27 and continuing into II Corinthians, providing insight into Paul's leadership ability and personal character as it is demonstrated in his dealings with pagan sailors, false teachers, and immature Christians.
He also takes a short detour towards the beginning of the book to look into the life of Nehemiah in order to glean some wisdom from Nehemiah's effort to rebuild the wall. The end result is an extremely practical, Biblically saturated guide into true leadership. From the life of Paul and Nehemiah, MacArthur derives 26 characteristics of a true leader. Especially helpful is an appendix on page 209 which provides the list of the 26 characteristics in the order in which they appear in the book.
Another very helpful portion of this book is where MacArthur elaborates on the principle that a "Leader is disciplined" (147). On pages 152 through 157, MacArthur gives eight specific, practical ways in which a person can discipline himself or herself: Get organized; use time wisely; findways to be edified rather than merely entertained; pay attention to small things; accept extra resposibility; once you start something, finish it; keep your commitments and tell yourself no from time to time.
Overall, the book is exrememly helpful and practical and will be very encouraging for those who desire to be true leaders. I highly recommend it!
