The principles of leadership in both the temporal and spiritual realms are presented and illustrated both from Scripture and from the biographies of eminent men of God. Not every reader will have access to many of the biographies from which these illustrations are drawn, and this has encouraged the author to include apposite incidents from the lives of these men whose leadership has been more than usually successful. Wherever possible, sources are indicated. In the case of Scripture references, that translation has been used which appeared to the author to be most accurate and luminous. The material has been presented in a form that is calculated to be of help even ti younger Christians in whose hearts the Holy Spirit is working to create a holy ambition to place all their powers at the disposal of the Redeemer. If there is something, too, that will rekindle aspiration and crystallize a fresh purpose in the hearts of those further along the road of leadership, the aim of this book will be realized.
