Pre-Owned The Climb: Practical Lessons For Today's Leader (Paperback) 0578921936 9780578921938

Has God called you to be a leader? Has your preparation for this special purpose taken you beyond the surface? Have you considered the deeper things that are required to lead and serve during such precarious days? While spiritual leadership involves many of the same principles as general leadership, spiritual leadership has certain distinguishing qualities that must be understood, embraced and practiced if spiritual leaders are to leave a lasting legacy.

In The Climb, Christian leadership expert John Rivera draws on years of experience in leadership positions and knowledge of historical Bible stories to help us consider new leadership heights. He also details how God shapes those He calls to be leaders by empowering them to build purpose-driven, Spirit filled lives. He addresses how you can develop positive leadership character and skills that draw other high-performing individuals to your team. If you have been wondering what role you can play in your organization or ministry during such a historical global season, this is the book for you. There is no longer a need to suppress your dreams and untapped potential with unjustified fears, self-doubt, and low self-esteem. Rivera will walk you through solid biblical principles and proven leadership strategies for overcoming apathy and fear of failure. He will inspire you to step out of your proverbial boat and run to the shoreline of the promised territory that God has always planned for you. In this powerful Christian motivational and leadership book, you will learn:

- From true inspirational Bible stories of men and women who were called by God to move past a mundane life, and into the extraordinary realm of the supernatural;
- How to apply practical leadership principles to your life and improve organizational skills for maximum impact;
- How to overcome fear that has kept you from flourishing in the arena you were always meant to influence; and
- How to challenge yourself to mobilize your faith, inspire others, become successful and find lasting happiness all the days of your life.

So, choose today to go beyond perceived limitations. No more delays, and no more excuses - take a deep breath, put on your climbing gear, and take the next step toward your personal leadership summit. You were created for more!
