Pastor Gerald Brooks has written another timely leadership book that deals with the real issues we face, and offers the only solution that has been proven time and again to really work…love. This isn’t a book with generic principles reworded, or a list of 10 ways to be a better leader. It’s not a book based on opinion or someone else’s strategy; it’s a book based solely on God’s Word, and His ultimate design for life in leadership.
Brooks correctly identifies a problem church leaders are currently facing, and that is that the people we lead are often living out a cultural definition of love rather than a biblical one. He breaks down 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter, in a powerful way that redefines love the way God intended it, and proposes that leaders must have love as their primary motivation. Love motivated leadership is transformational, and to demonstrate this reality Brooks includes testimonies from other great leaders at the end of each chapter, leaders who have seen personal and organizational transformation take place when they committed to leading with love as their primary motivation. He also gives response questions for the reader to consider as they process personally the content from each chapter. These interactive elements create a dynamic reading experience not found in many leadership books. (more…)
