Letters to Rising Leaders

The world needs new Christian leaders guided by goodness, ready to love and heal the world. As our planet, democracy, communities, neighborhoods, churches and families fall into crisis, Jesus searches for servant leaders who will respond. Will we heed Jesus' call? Will good Christian leaders rise up and stand in the gap? As Fredrick Buechner once said, "The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."

The world needs new Christian leaders guided by goodness, ready to love and heal the world. As our planet, democracy, communities, neighborhoods, churches and families fall into crisis, Jesus searches for servant leaders who will respond. Will we heed Jesus' call? Will good Christian leaders rise up and stand in the gap? As Fredrick Buechner once said, "The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." This book, Letters to Rising Leaders, is a clarion call to the next generation of leaders– to become leaders grounded in God, focused on others and ready to serve. To those who feel called to rise to the needs of this world, it is my hope you will find both encouragement and challenge in the pages of this book. Leadership is hard. It starts on the inside. To become a leader of goodness takes discipline, humility and commitment. This book is offered to you as help for the journey. It is my prayer that you will embark on a soul walk with God, and then will take up God's call to love and heal the world.
