Overview

All of us are called to be leaders in our family, work places, church, and community. It is not hard to find self-help leadership books; the choices are overwhelming.

However, we know that the only leadership guide worth following is the Bible. That’s why College Press wants to put resources about Biblical leadership into your hands to help you fulfill your calling as a leader.

By studying the life of Jesus and other leaders in the Bible, you’ll learn from their example and follow in their footsteps to become a better leader yourself.

Use these books to guide your Biblical studies of leadership and to help you grow as a leader.
