I thought I would begin the new year by sharing some books I have enjoyed on Servant-Leadership. Of course the number one book is the Bible in general and the book of Nehemiah in particular. Some other books written by outstanding authors are currently available.

2008 has a lot of potential for us to develop Serving Leaders in all walks of life. All of us can be leaders even though not all of us can be CEO. To accomplish what Jesus did and continues to do is astonishing. Certainly we can learn a lot about leading from Him.

Thanks so much for sharing these books!
I do think that you should consider
writing a book on this topic as well.
I think it would be a wonderful read!
Love,

Amen, Stacey.
And I would also like for you to give a brief reaction to each of the books you listed... maybe start with some of your favorites. It's a big list, but where should we start reading?
Hey John,
Happy belated birthday!
