This book is one of the best titles I have read that applies specifically to Christian leaders. There are many works available that address leadership in general, but ones that give a uniquely Christian perspective are harder to find. Marshall has an excellent work here, and I recommend it highly to all Christian leaders. I especially recommend it to young pastors who are preparing for a life of service as a pastor.

Everything rises and falls on good Christian leadership. In twenty years of pastoral ministry, I have seen many of Marshall's principles verified through my own mistakes and shortcomings. This book will be a great help in avoiding many of the pitfalls that plague Christian leaders.

This book gives a clear and easy to understand view, as to what christian leadership really is. Its systematic and practical. I found it the best book for this topic so far.

After many heart-wrenching experiences in ministry throughout the years and observing the spiritual abuse of power others wielded, this book has proven to be a life saver. It is a must read for any Christian and especially anyone that serves in any capacity of leadership. The Servant Leadership principles are fantastic as well as understanding the danger of power and how easily it can corrupt even the best intentions.

While this is primarily a Christian leadership book the reality is that "truth" is "truth" and anyone can glean a wealth of it from this book and good principles that apply to everyone. Buy it! You won't be dissappointed.

This is a great book on leadership. It is very well organized and each main point is backed by scripture.

I found this book fascinating in what Tom Marshall viewed as the most important function of leaders; service to those they lead. I am in the military and, for me, this book hit home in how he reminds leaders that humility and desire to serve others are vital to success. In being a servant to others, we must place their needs first and think of their welfare before our own. Also included are great discussions concerning pride, self healing and ministry. Yes, a Christian book, but the philosophy is beautiful and can be applied by anyone who feels a desire to be a responsible servant/leader to others.
