The last thing you need is another book on leadership. So how is
UnLeader different?Leadership-centric conversations dominate the
contemporary evangelical church scene. The largest church
leadership conferences each year include talks from corporate
business executives and world famous CEOs. We are drilled with the
message that if it worked for them it will work for the
church.There is one overwhelming problem. Jesus himself is not our
first choice when it comes to who we model ourselves after as
leaders. Many times the life of Jesus directly contradicts much of
what is being imported into the church under the mantra of
effective leadership.This book is not about eliminating leadership
in the church. UnLeader will help you redefine and recalibrate your
view of leadership according to Jesus' life. Renew your ministry,
reimagine your path to authentic servant leadership, and discover
that the only leaders worthy of being followed in the Church are
the ones who are following Christ himself.Reviews'In a culture
obsessed with leadership and leaders, this book turns the pyramid
upside down, provoking all Christians to reexamine what the New
Testament really has to say about the subject.'-Frank Viola, author
of Reimagining Church'UnLeader is a fast, engaging read that makes
a compelling case for a different way - a starkly Biblical way -
towards leading the church into God's future. -David Fitch, B R
Linder Chair of Evangelical Theology, Northern Seminary'As the
church struggles through seizmic shifts, UnLeader unwraps the
reality of true God-sized influence. The future of the church and
the fate of the world, at least in your neighborhood, are at
stake...so read only if you intend to give your life away.' -Hugh
Halter, author of The Tangible Kingdom and Sacrilege
In The Weary Leader's Guide to Burnout, Sean Nemecek takes

Christ, more connected with others, and with greater purpose,
courage, and grace in their leadership. This book integrates

spirituality into a holistic approach to recovery. It is filled
with relatable stories of church leaders who have walked this path
and includes discussion questions for personal contemplation or
group discussion. The Weary Leader's Guide to Burnout will help
pastors and Christian leaders develop an integrated approach to
life, work, and ministry through healing and spiritual
transformation.

In this riveting novel, beloved international bestselling author
Deepak Chopra captures the spellbinding life story of the great and
often misunderstood Prophet.
Islam was born in a cradle of tribal turmoil, and the arrival of
one God who vanquished hundreds of ancient Arabian gods changed the
world forever. God reached down into the life of Muhammad, a
settled husband and father, and spoke through him. Muhammad's
divine and dangerous task was to convince his people to renounce
their ancestral idols and superstitious veneration of multiple
gods. From the first encounter, God did not leave Muhammad alone,
his life was no longer his own, and with each revelation the
creation of a new way of life formed and a religion was born.
Muhammad didn't see himself as the son of God or as one who
achieved cosmic enlightenment. His relatives and neighbors didn't
part the way when he walked down the parched dirt streets of Mecca.
There was no mark of divinity. Orphaned by age six, Muhammad grew
up surrounded by dozens of cousins and extended family to become a
trusted merchant. Muhammad saw himself as an ordinary man and that
is why what happened to him is so extraordinary.
Rooted in historical detail, Muhammad brings the Prophet to life
through the eyes of those around him. A Christian hermit mystic
foretells a special destiny, a pugnacious Bedouin wet nurse raises
him in the desert, and a religious rebel in Mecca secretly takes
the young orphan under his spiritual wing. Each voice, each chapter
brings Muhammad and the creation of Islam into a new light. The
angel Gabriel demands Muhammad to recite, the first convert risks
his life to protect his newfound faith, and Muhammad's life is not
a myth but an incredible true and surprisingly unknown story of a
man and a moment that sparked a worldwide transformation.

As understanding and awareness of abuse has grown, many revelations
of church leaders abusing their power have come to light. How did
the church get here? Is there a way we can address both individual
and institutional failings to counter the misuse of power and, more
importantly, prevent it in first place? Powerful Leaders? exposes
and explores how leaders are tempted away from a biblical model of
leadership into illegitimate - and in the worst cases abusive - use
of authority and power. Director of Living Leadership, a charity
that focuses on healthy leadership and church culture, Marcus
Honeysett traces how leaders move along a spectrum of healthy to
unhealthy uses of power and position and offers practical wisdom
for countering and preventing harmful leadership. Drawing on his
years of experience in the local church and working with leaders
and congregations, Honeysett unpacks how to spot danger signs of
abuse in the church and provides advice on what to do if you see or
are under unhealthy leadership. He also explores why people don't
blow the whistle and encourages critical self-examination in
existing leaders to ensure they maintain a healthy use of power -
and offers guidance to help leaders improve their skills and move
back towards healthy, biblically-based leadership. For anyone
concerned about improving safeguarding in the church, Powerful
Leaders? will prove a valuable resource. It challenges and equips
both those in leadership and those in a position to hold leaders
accountable, and will empower them to take the necessary steps
forward to create healthier church cultures in which everyone can
thrive.
An expert in the study of Islam answers thirty important questions
about Muhammad, offering a clear and concise guide to his life and
religious significance. This companion volume to the author's A
Concise Guide to the Quran answers many of the key questions
non-Muslims have about Muhammad, reveals the importance of Muhammad
for Christian-Muslim and Jewish-Muslim interfaith relations, and
examines Muslim and non-Muslim primary sources. This introductory
guide is written for anyone with little to no knowledge of Islam
who wants to learn about Muslims, their beliefs, and their prophet.
This work was originally published in 1936. This volume discusses
the Islamic faith in the perspective of the ancient Arabian
monotheism and its similarities with Christianity and Judaism. The
similarities not only in dogma, but also in the ritual of Nestorian
Christianity are discussed as well as an interpretation of
Mohammed's religious personality.
