Stepping Up to Lead: Rebuilding a Nation in the Footsteps of Nehemiah (Christians Engaged to Transform Culture)

After the Babylonian Exile, Israel was in desperate need of godly leadership. So God raised up the prophet Nehemiah, who effectively mobilized his people to the stunning achievement of rebuilding the broken-down walls of Jerusalem in only fifty-two days.This is the type of leadership that America needs―and author Bunni Pounds, founder and president of Christians Engaged, believes hearing and understanding Nehemiah’s story can help us rebuild and strengthen our land.“At all levels of our society and culture, we are faced with issues that seem insurmountable,” she says. “Oftentimes, because of this, we become overwhelmed and ineffective. Nehemiah shows us how we can overcome the obstacles we face.”Nehemiah’s life was marked by prayer, devotion to God’s Word, humility, wisdom, and service, and the book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament offers a rich legacy for us to draw upon and emulate. In Stepping Up to Lead: Rebuilding a Nation in the Footsteps of Nehemiah, you will:Discover the timeless principles of effective leadership that Nehemiah used to make a lasting impactHear stories of modern-day leaders who are making a difference thanks to the same type of character traits that the prophet exemplified Learn how God has put you right where He wants you in order to be a leader empowered by the Holy Spirit Be inspired through a deeper understanding of biblical leadership in our modern worldAs disciples of Jesus Christ, we have all been called to leadership roles within our spheres of influence.
