I was a little surprised to find that this was a study of leadership based on the life of Paul and using mainly the book of Acts. It's not that this was a negative in any way, it was just not what I was expecting. This book was written about 25 years ago and it was surprising how many of the cultural challenges Bob refers to and still relevant today. This was a good read, just as I expected.
