<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In The Peter Principle, Dr. Laurence J. Peter argued that competent employees are promoted until they reach positions where they are incompetent. Any wise leader, then, can learn from Saint Peter--a man who knew his own incompetence, trusted in Christ, and met his deficiencies through the insights of God's Word. In this comprehensive handbook, Peter Lillback, president of Westminster Theological Seminary, uses the apostle Peter's life and writings to guide men and women through the details and daily challenges of leadership in any arena. Readers will think through their relationships, productivity, management style, communication, decision-making, conflict resolution, integrity, and more. Practical spiritual exercises help to put the lessons of each short section into action.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I guess that my being asked to endorse a book with the subtitle Leadership for Those Who Already Know Their Incompetence may influence your estimation of my endorsement's value. But if you've read past the first sentence, hear me out. I have been privileged to serve in various forms of academic and ecclesiastical leadership for about three decades. I have not attempted to write on leadership, but I have sought to read about, observe, and learn as much as I can about it. Sadly, few books address the issue from the standpoint of a commitment to biblical principles and a Reformed worldview. Happily, this one does. Dr. Lillback is an honored colleague who has led a sister institution with wisdom and fidelity. You and I have much to benefit from the insight and teaching of such a man.--Ligon Duncan, Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary<br><br>This has to be the most unusual combination (in my library) of the theoretical, on the one hand, and the practical, on the other. Maybe that's why Lillback has moved so steadily through the scholarly ranks of the academic community, and then the day-to-day administrative demands of a seminary president. His analysis of the leadership topic is saturated with Scripture, but he's also quick to illustrate those truths with pertinent--and often self-effacing--anecdotes.--Joel Belz, Founder, WORLD News Group<br><br>This is a rich, wonderfully instructive and helpful compendium of wisdom on all aspects of leadership. There is nothing merely theoretical. The principles are applied with the insight and humility of one who embodies the lessons he teaches. The format provides easy access to the material, and the reminder that even our trials due to our incompetence can bring glory to God should encourage us to be ourselves and forget ourselves.--Alistair Begg, Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Bainbridge, Ohio<br>
