English

A powerful, biblically based model of leadership development based on the life of the Apostle Paul

All churches, denominations, and parachurch organizations are eager for new models of leadership development. Cole uses the life and leadership lessons of the Apostle Paul to show how to develop leaders who are skilled, dedicated, and always open to learning from experience.

  • Cole, a trusted, innovative authority, uses the four journeys of Paul to shows how leaders can grow to be more influential.
  • A publication from the acclaimed Leadership Network
  • Paul, the original “church planter,” was very instrumental in the growth of Christianity—and a perfect model for today’s leaders.

Shows how Paul’s leadership developed over the course of his life to get better and better with time and maturity—and how they can do the same.
