Too bad they don't teach about all the great leaders of the holy books in business school or even the self-help business books. If everyone would follow the path that the Almighty Creator has already created for mankind, there would be a lot less confusion as to what "Success" really is. To my amazing discovery as I was reading this book, I found that some of our present day leaders already follow a lot of these very principles and are the first to acknowledge that none of their success would be possible without their faith in the Almighty One. This book should definitely be among the second book a person reads aside from the original plans for man given directly by our Creator to the prophets, as it reiterates the path to success in all of lifes affairs. Just imagine a business where everyone starts their day with group prayer for the day in the conference room!

Mr. Murdock entitled his book "The Leadership Secrets of Jesus" but the sound-bites of wisdom and instruction are valuable for anyone! I found the 58 topics filled with direction, inspiration and truth. My heart related to and was touched by many of the chapters. You will want to share this book with the people you care about. It is a little treasure chest, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I have found this book helpful in relating to others at home and at work. A manual for leadership training for all sector of life, for anyone who desire to be successful. My copy is over read and the cover is proof.

This book does an excellent job of explaining the qualities which made Jesus the most remembered, and loved leader in all of history. It is also a good tool to help anyone, in business, or just in life, sharpen their ability to become a great leader. I highly recomend this book to anyone searching for ways to live a happier and more lucrative life. GOD BLESS!!!!!!

Other than the Bible, there is no other book I have ever read that combines mind and heart so lucidly, and shows us how to use both to their maximum potential in service to the Lord. "The Leadership Secrets of Jesus" contains tough, uncompromising Bible teaching that if one is willing to walk the straight and narrow path, will lead one to new levels in life, and help reach for excellence one never thought one was capable of. It is also brilliantly written, full of a light that can only emanate from wisdom attained by God.

Dr. Murdock is a great motivational writer and speaker, and his words inspire one with a fire that makes the narrow path easy, and once traveled on, an inner peace and knowing in the truth of God's mighty Word. This book is especially valuable to those who are in business for themselves, or in a position to supervise others. There is a lot of content on the ethics and management of one's career ("Your integrity will always be remembered longer than your product," pg.21), planning one's time ("The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine," pg.33), and money ("money is for movement, not accumulation," pg. 118).

The path cannot be walked without courage ("You must be willing to go where you have never been, to create something you have never had," pg. 52), and faith and prayer. Reading the Bible on a daily basis is a priority ("Make a daily appointment with God," pg. 172). Dr. Murdock suggests nurturing the habit by reading the book of Proverbs, since it has 31 chapters, and reading a chapter a day per month, so that it becomes a part of one's routine.

The layout of this sturdily constructed book is excellent, with a font size that is easy on the eyes, insets of "Wisdom Keys" that are concise and memorable, a prayer and some insightful questions to ask oneself, and a Bible quote on the subject of each chapter. If one is diligently seeking Him, and willing to walk the walk, "The Leadership Secrets of Jesus" can be a life-changer.

"The Leadership Secrets Of Jesus" by Mike Murdoch is around 220 pages and may be read as a daily devotional or completed in a few days. There are 58 short chapters covering topics such as:

1. Jesus never hurried from place to place.
2. Jesus guarded His personal schedule and spent plenty of time with the Father.
3. Jesus avoided unnecessary confrontations with others - picked His battles wisely.
4. Jesus hurt when others hurt.
5. Jesus took time to plan and rest.
6. Jesus finished what He started.
7. And a bunch of other topics relevant to today's world.

The reader may read something already familiar, but we all need to be reminded of things, don't we?

A good read that will either enlighten or remind us of the important priorities in our lives and challenge us to live as Jesus Christ did.

Recommended.

This is definitely not Murdock's best. Some of his books are excellent (eg., 7 Laws You must Honor to Have Uncommon Success) and some of them appear to be just pamphlets taken out of the Biblical text designed more to raise funds than to inspire with original insight into the scriptures. This book is typical of that type. One would be better off just reading the original source than reading Murdock's rehash in this one.

Why do we look to everyone else to define leadership for us? If God made us, then He knows what real leadership looks like, because He exhibited it in creating mankind. He desired to have a family to bestowe His love upon, so He took action and created one. This is ultimate leadership. He wants something... so He creates it and makes it happen. Stop reading inferior, man-made suggestions of leadership and go straight to the source. Loved it - excellent. Simple and direct which is pure Mike Murdock. He gives no uncessary words. Settle for nothing less than what the Master has to offer - real leadership secrets.

1st let me say you're supposed to review the book, not give us a character assassination of Mike Murdock. Mike Murdock has an impeccable record (financial AND spiritual.) Moving on.....this book is filled with scriptures and insights as to how Jesus is a true leader and how you can follow His teachings. A great book for personal and professional development!

It takes a special person to point out the wondorous truths contained in the Bible which have been clamouring for the average person to incorporate them into their lives.

Many Thanks and God's blessings to Mike Murdock. And, a wonderful experience awaits the next person to read this book.
