Summary: Great Book for Any Church Leader
Review: As a leader of Women's Ministries in my church, I needed a training book to encourage and teach the Women's Ministry Board. The principles stated in this book are very important to ministry at any level. It involves the personal and spiritual disciplines important to setting the right model of leadership. Our ladies team has enjoyed the study of this book and find if helpful. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the principles of leadership.

Summary: Ho Hum, I've read better
Review: The author is the director of evangelism for the Navigators and a combat marine veteran of WWII. These two experiences have shaped his view of leadership. Unlike many other books on leadership, Eims has structured his book sole on leadership and management principles taken from the Bible. His belief that any pastor can be a better leader is the chief strength of this book. Eims points out that the source of spiritual leadership is not found in natural charisma, but in the infilling presence of God; thus, leaders in the church must be men of faith before anything else. They must set the example before the congregation of what it means to be a Christian. There were some significant weaknesses in this book. There were just too many sermons. Page after page is devoted to biblical illustrations. For instance, in chapter nine over three pages of biblical exposition are devoted to Moses resolving conflicts. It was an OK book, I've read better.
