Learning to Lead Like Jesus: 11 Principles to Help You Serve, Inspire, and Equip Others

Learning to Lead like Jesus is the best book I have read in the last year. I have read many of Boyd's books and I find them to be very useful in my daily walk but there is something so much more in this book. This is his best book and it is a must read if you want to be the best leader, person, spouse, parent, worker and friend you can be. God has used Boyd to influence the Kingdom in a mighty way through Learning to Lead Like Jesus.The book is written in a way that I spent one day per chapter going through it. I wanted to go keep going but I knew I needed to take each chapter and ponder on it for a day. It was simply written and easily digestible but the truths in this book were so deep, it would not have done it justice to read it straight through. I am looking forward to re-reading again in a month to make sure I take to heart the lessons of this book.I lead a ministry working with orphan children in Africa and it is a difficult job and I know I need to be poured into sometimes to refill my cup to pour out. This book has me overflowing and re-energized to serve Him. I love the book so much that I bought one for all of board members because I want what is God's best for them and I want our ministry to serve well. I am also buying them for all of the team members on the trip I just took our orphanage/school in Kenya.**full disclosure** I was given a copy of the book by the publisher. I have also purchased many copies through Amazon to give away.

I was all in with the very first chapter....the introduction of the 11 Characteristics for great leadership qualities like Christ. As an executive level public servant trying to walk out my faith everyday. I’m left wondering how to balance leadership in a world now that wants quick sound bites, over quality human service care, a world where divisive rhetoric over is being pushed over principled humanity, integrity and leadership. Boyd’s book gave me hope in a world going mad, a world absent of moral leadership, and fraught with hopelessness. Leadership for today and tomorrow will require men and women inside and outside of church buildings (as we ARE the church)...to exercise these 11 characteristics daily. I highly recommend this book.

Read this book if you’re a leader and you want to be the best leader you can be. For your people, for your company, and most importantly - for the Lord. Filled with personal stories and laced with Scripture.

A good guide for someone new to the faith. Its basically teaching how to be a Christian. I also did not appreciate how he would use verses but didnt give credit to the Bible. Like he was the one who was saying it. For example he writes "Kind words are like honey sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." but he writes it in a way which appears like they are his words. But I had already memorized it Prov 16:24 so I knew it was from the Bible. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Now, to be fair he ends up quoting the same verse a few pages later. But it felt decieving.

I LOVE this book! Literally highlighted the whole thing. Definitely one of my top 10 most influential books/best reads. Super powerful if you are a Christian, but great wisdom for leaders of all religions and for people who don't consider themselves leaders - just really good advice on how to be a good person!

Boyd keeps it biblical, practical and transferable to every area of life. I used these 11 principles to train the leadership council in our partner community in Guatemala. Great book! Highest recommendation!

At school they asked for this book, it is very effective if someone wants to guide others like Jesus, this is a good book to start with, it has very good practical examples that can be used in everyday Life.

I was charged twice f ou r the book, but only received one. The book w as s awesome. Just dont like to get charged twice for something.

Fue un regalo para una amiga que es lider en la iglesia local, quedo encantada. Creo que todos necesitamos aprender de liderazgo en la iglesia.

I am using this to assist with my studies.
