The Cruciform Leader

Learn to lead with countercultural humility and defiant kindness
In the Western world, the church is facing a leadership crisis. The news is riddled with tragic stories of scandal, abuse, and decline. Leadership values have gone astray, having a devastating impact on the witness of the local church to its community. Alain Emerson says there is hope. True, Christlike leadership is possible--and there are holy and humble leaders rising up, finding their voices, and leading the church moved by the Holy Spirit. These leaders exemplify Alain's heartfelt plea in this book--to return to the cruciform way. True leadership exemplified by Jesus and his apostles has the power to be world-changing. With unapologetic sincerity, The Cruciform Leader lays bare the failings at the heart of the church and points to the solution: biblical leadership.
