The author presents examples from Scripture and biographies of amazing men of God (Moses, Nehemiah, Paul, David Livingstone, Charles Spurgeon, etc). The leadership qualities are God-given, their true effectiveness can be reached when they are used to the glory of God. Some of the main topics include the cost of leadership as being a sacrifice, the responsibility of leadership which shouldn't be taken lightly, because leaders will be taken accountable of the model they testify. The tests of leadership are really challenging and mature every believer. The qualities and criteria of leadership are well presented. The art of reproducing leaders is well established. There is one indispensable requirement of leadership that every leader should present. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.

Book review: Kingdom disciples by Tony Evans

The missing key to Christianity is discipleship. In Kingdom Disciples, Tony Evans presents a simple, action oriented definition of discipleship with the purpose of helping the church fulfill its calling. It's a book that teaches what a disciple is, what a disciple cares about, how to be a disciple and make disciples, what discipleship looks like in community, what the impact of discipleship on the world should be.
Kingdom disciples are needed. The power, authority, abundance, victory, and impact God has promised willcome to us about when we understand and align ourselves with His concept of discipleship. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for the review.

Book review: Lord change my attitude before it's too late by James MacDonald

Lord change my attitude before it's too late is a bold, practical and well constructed book that helps everyone break away from the negativity that destroys happiness. This wonderful book includes study application questions in each chapter that make it easy for the readers to identify the attitudes of the heart that need change in order for God's abundance to overflow in their lives. Most patterns of thinking don't easily change overnight. Pastor MacDonald shows readers how to begin to recognize wrong attitudes and points out how to work on replacing these with the right ones. It all starts with the thoughts we have, then with the beliefs, the way we perceive the reality around us which then transforms into actions. Good habits needs lots of repetitive acts that get imprinted in our behavior. When we break free from bondage and negative behavior, we develop a positive attitude that will follow a good positive behavior. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.
