The landscape of Christianity is deeply scarred by wounded pastors and disillusioned board members who love God but have been betrayed by a failed system. It's time for a far-reaching change.

Jesus told his disciples that leaders in the world throw their weight around and flaunt their authority, but "among you it will be different" (Mt. 20:26 NLT). Distinctly different! Radically different! Not a dressed-up, warmed-over Christian version of the world's system, but a uniquely powerful way of doing things that is quite contrary to the world's idea of leadership.

"... needs to be read by every pastor in ministry. I see this as the future textbook for practical theology ... in seminaries and Bible colleges!" -Dr. Rex Johnson, Professor in Christian Min. & Leadership, Biola Univ. & Talbot (ret.)

"This is the 'how to do' book for pastors and church boards to work together and win!" -Les Steckel, Pres. of FCA (ret.), veteran NFL Coach, Colonel USMCR
