商品簡介
Tyrants show up everywhere. In the workplace. In the pulpit. At home. And, if we are honest, oftentimes in our own hearts. In a culture that rewards charisma and results over character, how can Christians resist the temptation to lead like the world?
In How (Not) to Be a Tyrant, biblical scholar Joshua W. Jipp turns to 10 of the Bible's most infamous rulers for guidance--by showing us what not to do. From Pharaoh's greed to Pilate's cowardice, each chapter contrasts a scriptural example of destructive power with Jesus's radically different way of leading with integrity, mercy, and sacrificial love.
Readers will learn to
- reject fear and manipulation tactics;
- apply Scripture's warnings to modern challenges; and
- practice humility, mercy, and justice in any setting.
This short yet eye-opening book is essential reading for Christians who want to exert positive influence in every sphere of life.
