Synopsis

In every period of human history, God has scouted for young people of specific character traits whom he will work, train, and discipline to execute specific leadership functions under His supervision. He will patiently check in obscure villages and homes until He finds you and gets your response to be trained in the school of hard knocks. Building on the stories of great leaders in the Bible, From Ordinary People to Great Leaders is designed to assist you in developing the mindset to grow from ordinary to great. God took Moses from Egyptian palace and sent him to sheep school in Midian; David went from sheep school to Saul's palace. God guided them in their training and preparation, and when He saw that they were ready, he placed them in leadership positions to develop a fledgling organization into a great nation. As someone who is a potential or present leader, you must focus on what you and your organization can be the best at doing and focus on what you must do to accomplish your goals. The God-given wisdom of these leaders can help you get there. This guide seeks to help you develop your leadership skills and grow yourself and your organization by using biblical models for contemporary leadership issues.
