Today's spiritual leaders are not only expected to nurture God's people, but also to perform effectively as administrators and decision makers. What principles should guide their service as leaders? How do they make wise decisions and deal with sin in the community? Robert M. Solomon, a former Bishop of the Methodist Church in Singapore, addresses these questions and others in this exposition of the book of Nehemiah. See how the governor of Judea leads the rebuilding of the temple, deals with disobedience and disunity, handles administrative details, and institutes reforms in the face of external opposition and internal strife. Whether you're a pastor, church or ministry leader, missionary, parent, teacher, or manager in your workplace, this book can offer you biblical lessons on leading, guiding, and caring for others while staying focused on worship, the Word, and your walk with the Lord.
