As we enter a new
millennium, there is a growing vacuum of leadership among the
younger generation. The need is great for younger men and
women who will rise to the challenge - in the face of great
opportunities and great obstacles - to be obedient to the call of
leadership.
This is the
rallying call Paul Borthwick puts forth in Leading the Way -
Leadership is Not Just for Super Christians. He asserts
that leadership is not just reserved for those with the "right"
education, abilities, status or background. Rather, God is
calling all young Christians who have the vision and responsibility
to persevere, to fill this growing leadership vacuum.
There are so many
areas of need in the world, and so few young people who seem willing
to lead the way in meeting those needs. That means there are
leadership positions enough for anyone with the commitment and
interest necessary to heed the call!
If you have decided
to heed that call, this book will provide you with the encouragement
and direction that you need for getting started, and an agenda to
help keep your eyes on the goal for years to come.
