Driven by sinful pride or opportunism, many people abuse their God-given authority, harming the ones they’re called to lead and contributing to a skeptical attitude toward leadership. The answer to bad authority, however, is not no authority, but good authority―the kind that, according to Scripture, causes those under it to flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this compelling guide from 9Marks, Jonathan Leeman shows that authority, done biblically, is not only good but essential to human flourishing. Through Scripture and many first-hand stories, he presents 5 attributes of positive authority and warns against sinfulness that corrupts leadership. Dozens of study questions throughout the book guide readers as they think through each chapter individually or with a group. Pointing to Jesus as the ultimate model of good authority, Leeman equips readers to pursue godly influence in their personal and professional lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplicable:  Challenges readers to identify weaknesses in their own leadership style and offers 5 attributes of godly authority Engaging:  Filled with compelling stories that illustrate key points A Great Resource for Pastors, Employers, Officers, and Parents:  Helps readers understand how to practice godly authority in church, at home, and in the workplace Created for Individual or Group Study:  This edition features study questions in each chapter of the book, encouraging deeper reflection and discussion\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67924433600757,"sku":"YSL52207","price":8.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/71_C-m-PklL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793672821","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b0fhbt4kbw","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
