Spiritual Leadership, by J. Oswald Sanders

Topic: Christian leadership

Summary: Lectures from the mid-20th century by Sanders to a missionary organization on the nature, scope, and practice of Christian leadership.

Positives: Insightful; challenging; practical; applicable; biblically sound; found useful throughout generations.

Negatives: Some of the applications are a bit aged, as are some of the metaphors; written for missionaries in a cross-cultural context.

Conclusion: I'll use selected chapters in the future, but the whole thing would be worth reading. Gets 4/5 stars.

* - Wish I hadn't wasted the time
** - Maybe other people would be interested in the topic... maybe
*** - Worth reading selected chapters
**** - Worth reading in its entirety
***** - Will read again; goes on the nightstand (if I had a nightstand)
