Peter wrote, "The elders which are among you, I exhort.”
This book follows that lead. It begins with general information on leadership
and then provides Bible examples of good and bad leaders. Part three of the
book deals with potential difficulties in several areas: no eldership, the role
of women, false teachers, and encouraging leaders. The appendix contains
chapters on word studies for the qualifications of elders and deacons, modesty,
and more. A special feature is the section on reviews of books on leadership
and leadership concerns. Books such as Encouraging Elders, Behold the Pattern,
and more are discussed.
This book would make an excellent gift for an elder or
elder-to-be.
