Dr. Janice Witt Smith, a leading Christian educator, has put together an outstanding resource to assist church leaders in equipping members of Christ’s body for leadership roles.

Following Jesus’ example in preparing spiritual warriors to undergird the church’s kingdom-building work is what Dr. Smith describes as “servant leadership.”

“Leadership development is a process,” says Dr. Smith, “and sometimes we do not see immediate results. However, we must believe that if we do things God’s way—planting good seed into fertile soil that the Holy Spirit has prepared—there will be a bountiful harvest.”

Th is helpful book illustrates easy, practical steps to support church leadership by:

• Providing a roadmap to enhance understanding of leadership roles
• Examining how Jesus set the example of a perfect leader
• Answering the question: “What does it mean to be a servant leader?”
• Looking at examples of poor leadership—leaders with “issues”
• Directing daily practice as servant leaders of excellence

As you read this book and allow the Holy Spirit to further unleash the leadership potential in you, you will learn more about His plan and purpose for leadership through servant leadership.
