More than ever, people are talking about leadership. But much of today''s discourse is advancing the same old misconceptions.

In The Book on Leadership, best-selling author, pastor, and teacher John MacArthur sets the record straight: Leadership does not come from a job title. It isn''t a matter of personality or charisma. And it isn''t the same thing as iron-fisted authority. True leadership--the kind that refuses to bend to a shifting, fickle world--comes from a much deeper source.

Based on the writings of one of the most effective spiritual leaders of all time--the apostle Paul--MacArthur presents the "26 Characteristics of a True Leader." Whether you are a business leader, civic leader, church leader, parent, teacher, or student, the life of Paul will empower you to unleash your own capacity for leadership.
