Traveling across Kansas I listened to this Nelson Audio Library book read by the author. Maxwell likes to give short lists of points to remember about dozens of areas of leadership. There are probably more than Moses gave. These are proven management principles that he has shown work in any organization.

The Sacred Anointing: The Preaching of ...
To me, reading Martyn Lloyd-Jones, is much like reading J. Sidlow Baxter. I enjoy his manner and his intensely sacred approach to Scripture, but I find him an interesting mix of Holiness and Reformed theology (he was fairly insistent on divine election but also believed in subsequent baptisms of the Holy Spirit). Although this book […]
C.S. Lewis Had a Wife; Catherine Marshal...
I was given this 1985, Tyndale House book to read if I became interested. The title didn’t much interest me but the table of contents did. I have found an interest in biographies of great men of God and this book contains ten biographies that center on the home life of these great men. They […]
The Christian Conscience
Regular Baptist Press offers a number of small books for pastors including this 1984 study on the biblical definition of the conscience. His view is that the conscience is inherent in man’s makeup but is something that is only active in exposing sin. Clagett contends that conscience cannot become a Christian’s guide because within a […]
George Whitefield: Divine Dramatists
NOTE: In recent months I have reviewed a number of biographies. Some have been older editions and some newer. My objectives are these: to be uplifted by the faith of past saints, many of whom have struggled and suffered far more than we; to notice parallels in history of circumstances and issues that we face, […]
Jonathan Edwards: the Preacher
NOTE: In recent months I have reviewed a number of biographies. Some have been older editions and some newer. My objectives are these: to be uplifted by the faith of past saints, many of whom have struggled and suffered far more than we; to notice parallels in history of circumstances and issues that we face, […]
The Coming Evangelical Crisis
The sub-title to this timely volume is, “current challenges to the authority of scripture and the gospel.” Like other Moody books of this kind, this 1996 book is a compilation of articles by men of a Reformed or conservative Evangelical persuasion. They include R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur, Michael Horton and others. This reads much like […]
Reclaiming Authentic Fundamentalism
It was refreshing and stimulating to read a book on Fundamentalism by a fundamentalist whom we all know well. We don’t seem to mind the pointed corrections when they come from one of us. McLachlan does a good job of putting his finger on the problems of a powerless ministry and outlining biblical solutions which […]
Leadership in Christian Ministry
(Reviewed by John Rysdyk) Few books provide such immediate and practical help in ministry. It deals with the church as both organization and organism. “Leadership in the church has a two-fold function, both elements equal in importance. One focuses on task . . . the other relationships.” function, both elements equal in importance. One focuses […]
The Power of Vision
I have profited from George Barna’s books that have dealt with statistics and polls concerning the church in this decade. That is obviously his field. Barna made an attempt with this book to deal with the topic of vision from a biblical perspective but, I think, unsuccessfully. Actually the book comes from more of a […]
