What if there is in the Bible a consistent pattern of human communities flourishing under the good rule of God's Word? Drawing on years of teaching and ministry, Chris Green shows us how, as Mike Ovey put it, Christian leaders can be God's best possible gift to flourishing communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePastors face two temptations when they consider church leadership: one, common in more culturally conservative churches, is simply to preach faithfully and assume that that alone is adequate Christian leadership; the other, common in more culturally contemporary churches, is to apply secular business wisdom, but uncritically.
