The Cruciform Leader by Alain Emerson
Learn to lead with countercultural humility and defiant kindness
In the Western world, the church is facing a leadership crisis. The news is riddled with tragic stories of scandal, abuse, and decline. Leadership values have gone astray, having a devastating impact on the witness of the local church to its community.
Alain Emerson says there is hope. True, Christlike leadership is possible―and there are holy and humble leaders rising up, finding their voices, and leading the church moved by the Holy Spirit. These leaders exemplify Alain’s heartfelt plea in this book―to return to the cruciform way.
True leadership exemplified by Jesus and his apostles has the power to be world-changing. With unapologetic sincerity, The Cruciform Leader lays bare the failings at the heart of the church and points to the solution: biblical leadership.
