Description
Tyrants show up everywhere. In the workplace. In the pulpit. At home. And if we're honest, in our own hearts. In a culture that rewards charisma and results over character, how can Christians lead with honesty, humility, and virtue?
How (Not) to Be a Tyrant turns to ten of the Bible's most infamous rulers for guidance--showing us what not to do. From Pharaoh's greed to Pilate's cowardice, each chapter contrasts a scriptural example of destructive power with Jesus's radically different way of leading with integrity, mercy, and sacrificial love. This book will help you
● identify and eliminate unhealthy habits,
● apply Scripture to your everyday life, and
● develop Jesus's leadership qualities.
Short and practical, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to exert positive influence at work, at home, and in the world.
