Leading: A God-Centred Vision

How does God lead us?

The answer is vital because it shows us how we should lead others. Looking at the heart of the perfect Leader, we see that he is deeply loving, consistently caring, and overwhelmingly self-giving. By keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus and being filled with the Holy Spirit, we can reflect this, leading with upright hearts and skilful hands, bringing glory to our heavenly Father.

“Our hope ultimately lies in God’s leadership, not our own,” writes author John Hindley.

Here is deeply rooted leadership that outlives all fads and fashions, freeing us from the heavy weight of self-reliance and the fear of others. Here is leadership that never fails.

“Does the world need another book on leadership? Well, no—not if you are referring to the trendy, fad-driven leadership books that so often fill this space. The book you hold in your hands is different. It is not the latest leadership guide based on human experience. It is rooted in how God has revealed himself and led his people throughout the ages and how Christ is the focus and purpose of our leadership today. It is biblical, pastoral, and insightful in its tone and approach. And it will take your gaze to Christ and his glory over and over again.”

“In a world overflowing with leadership strategies, Leading: A God-Centered Vision brings us back to what matters most: before we can lead others well, we must learn to be led by God. John Hindley offers a deeply biblical, refreshingly pastoral, and wonderfully practical vision of leadership shaped by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This book will encourage weary leaders, challenge ambitious leaders, and help all of us lead with more humility, love, and dependence on Christ. I’m grateful for this book and highly recommend it.”

“Size is not always the best measure of value. A 50-gram nugget of gold is worth far more than a 500-gram rock. The same is true of the book you are holding in your hands. Leading: A God-Centred Vision is a small volume, yet in every sense it is a nugget of gold.

The aim of this little book on leadership is both simple and profound: to encourage you to lead by looking. Look to the Father and learn how he lovingly leads his children. Look to the Son and see how he faithfully shepherds His sheep. Look to the Holy Spirit and discover how he guides, comforts, and counsels his people with unfailing wisdom. As we behold God’s character, our own leadership is shaped by his grace.

This precious little volume by John Hindley will help you fix your eyes on the greatest Leader of all, and in doing so, become a more faithful leader yourself.”
