Leading by Example mines the practical theology of 1 Peter to uncover vital lessons for Christian leadership today. Graham Houston criticizes the trend in recent books to relate contemporary management theories to church leadership. He explores 1 Peter's expose of the problem of authoritarianism in the early church, and its development of an alternative model of servant leadership. Leading by Example is essential reading for any who want to see how the biblical text can help Christian leaders serve the purposes of God in a more Christ-like and radical way.
