When the
gift of leadership comes alive in the church, it gives birth to radically
devoted followers of Christ.
Bill Hybels,
founding and senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church and Chairman of the
Willow Creek Association Board, waited 30 years to write this book on the
strategic importance of the spiritual gift of leadership. As he pastored the
fledgling church and weathered the storms of amazing growth and change, his
thoughts on leadership deepened and crystallized. Now, in Courageous
Leadership, he shares the passionate cry of his heart: the local church
is the hope of the world, and its future rests in the hands of its leaders.
This book is
not written for business, government, or educational leaders-even though their
work is important-because, in the end, the causes they have dedicated their
lives to do not have the power to change the world. Instead, Bill Hybels writes
Courageous Leadership for local church leaders, the people who have the
potential to be the most influential force in the world.
