5.0 out of 5 stars Jesus' Timeless Model for Leadership, April 15, 2000

This review is from: More Leadership Lessons of Jesus: A Timeless Model for Today's Leaders (Hardcover)

Those who know of sports promoter Bob Briner know he was an outspoken advocate of living your faith in the world you live and work in. His books provide insight into how to make that happen. In "The Leadership Lessons of Jesus", and the companion volume "More Leadership Lessons of Jesus", Bob Briner and Ray Pritchard take the reader chronologically through the life of Jesus as described in the Gospel of Mark, pointing out along the way the leadership behaviors of Jesus and how they apply to today's world. The first volume covers Mark chapters 1-6, the second chapters 7-10. The format is one of short scripture introducing a chapter, followed by a 1-2 page commentary. These short readings are great for daily meditations or reading in short pieces. Other books about Jesus' leadership, such as Laurie Beth Jones' "Jesus, CEO" follow a similar format, but the content is different. Jones uses scripture passages to introduce the leadership concept in each chapter, but follows it with insights from her own and many other traditions. Briner and Pritchard stick to explaining the Biblical context of the quote and its applications to business life in today's world. The chronological order also helps see a broader context of the time and place of each encounter, what happened before and after. Anyone seriously interested in Jesus as a model of leadership will find these books valuable, with many fresh and original insights.

This review is from: More Leadership Lessons of Jesus: A Timeless Model for Today's Leaders (Hardcover)

If you already have Leadership Lessons of Jesus (B&H 2002), you don't need this book. Originally Leadership Lessons of Jesus was a two-part book in the Life Works series. I bought both thinking they would be different. This book contains half of what is in the newest edition. Not that great a book.
