Leadership in the Way of the Cross, Forging Ministry from the Crucible of Crisis

Sherwood G. Lingenfelter

Summary

This book uses a case study approach along with research to buttress its conclusions. The main argument is that crises are God-given opportunities for growth. Most of us, rather than attempt to understand what God is doing, seek to force a task paradigm onto the situation. The author provides a framework on how to better consider and handle a crisis.  Special attention paid to women in leadership and the challenges they face.
