Too many churches and parachurch groups operate under secular leadership principles and strategies without considering what Scripture teaches. In this accessible and comprehensive book, leadership expert Aubrey Malphurs articulates a working definition of Christian leadership based on the Bible and his own extensive research. Malphurs begins by defining a uniquely Christian leader from the inside out, from godly character, commitment to pure motives, and a servant attitude. He examines the leaders of the first-century church and then discusses qualities such as credibility, capability, and influence that are essential for successful leadership. Each chapter contains helpful questions for reflection and discussion. The appendix includes numerous audits to help readers evaluate themselves on various leadership components. “Being Leaders” is the first book of a two-part series on leadership. The companion book will address the how-to of building leaders.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Aubrey Malphurs</note> <subject> <topic>Christian Leadership</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">262.1</classification> <classification authority="ddc">M259-A90</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780801091438 0801091438</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/9/13/_19899460_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/9/13/_19899460_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070738.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
