- Summary:
- Christians are called to follow the Lord in all their
endeavors, whether leading or serving. As a result of this calling,
Christians should strive to live like Christ in all that they do. But
how did Jesus manage his ministry? Alexander Bruce seeks to answer
precisely that question in his book, The Training of the Twelve.
As
the
leader of twelve disciples and crowds of followers during his lifetime,
Jesus handled many difficult situations that Christian leaders still
face today. By showing how Jesus and his disciples dealt with hardships
like betrayal, death, and corruption, Bruce provides his readers with
valuable leadership skills. Relying almost entirely on Biblical
accounts, Bruce also addresses the important issues of humility, doubt,
patience, intercessory prayer, religious rituals, and self-sacrifice.
This book is not just for leaders. Christ teaches us how to lead, but
also how to be led. Likewise, Training of the Twelve gives us
timeless
advice on how Christians can be truly fulfilled while being led by
others. The Training of the Twelve is an excellent resource for
individuals as well as communities of all
sizes.
