Praise for Spiritual Leadership

Spiritual Leadership is the best book I’ve read on Christian leadership. I give copies to every key associate.

—Charles W. Colson (1931–2012). Founder, Prison Fellowship.

As a young pastor, J. Oswald Sanders’s book Spiritual Leadership was the first book I read that awakened me to the subject of leadership. It started me on a 30-plus year journey of teaching leadership to pastors and laypeople. No other book has influenced my life the way this one has.

—John C. Maxwell. Author, speaker, and founder the INJOY Group

Spiritual Leadership should be the constant companion of every undershepherd in the Savior’s service. Most helpful is the fact that its emphasis is not on methods, but on character, passion, and godliness. I read it often to regrip the basic perspectives of my task, and have given it to the entire leadership team in our church.

—John MacArthur. Pastor-teacher Grace Community Church.
