"Spurgeon On Leadership" by Larry J. Michael ...the greatest pastor-evangelist of the British scene in the dynamic nineteenth century... Few people argue against the contention that the greatest pastor-evangelist of the British scene in the dynamic nineteenth century was Charles Haddon Spurgeon. Spurgeon's Basic Fundamentals of Leadership In this new work, Spurgeon On Leadership by Dr. Larry Michael, the author has outlined and presented the basic leadership fundamentals that Spurgeon incorporated so well into his life and ministry. This book covers the gamut of the aspects of leadership. ...Christian commitment and moral character. Dr. Michael points out not merely the mechanics or psychology of what it means to be an influential leader, but also important fundamentals such as Christian commitment and moral character. ...Biblical fidelity. Moreover, he shows how Spurgeon demonstrated extreme courage and conviction for those principles and how, in the various controversies that surrounded his ministry, he rose to meet them with a genuine sense of Christian maturity and Biblical fidelity. ...a vision for the task and prioritizing one's ministry... Michael also stresses important characteristics such as grasping a vision for the task and prioritizing one's ministry in both the setting and the context of pastoral compassion and leadership. He does not exclude the fact that leadership often entails suffering, and that was where Spurgeon truly ascended to the heights of leadership. ...a superb work... Dr. Michael has produced a superb work; it will unquestionably make a lasting contribution to many lives. (-From the Foreword by Lewis A. Drummond) ______________________________ |
