About the Book:

Book: Good & Faithful Servant
Author: Wes Daughenbough

Genre: Non-fiction, leadership
Release Date: July, 2020
The greatest need in the body of Christ today is for spiritual leadership training, and the first law of spiritual leadership is that you are not the leader—the Holy Spirit is! If you follow him, you will lead many to righteousness.
Veteran pastor Wes Daughenbaugh, a Christian leader for nearly fifty years and author of five books, presents a wealth of spiritual wisdom designed to help Christian leaders develop skills for true godly leadership.
Key topics:

The differences between secularized leadership and spiritual leadership.
How to avoid using people to obtain a secularized vision and instead have God’s vision for the individuals you are leading.
How to have influence with God (power in prayer).
The importance of spiritual warnings.
Seven ways to live in Christlike character virtues.
Over sixty professional drawings to help you “see” spiritual truths.

If you long for intimacy with God and want your life to glorify Jesus, you’ll find Good and Faithful Servant to be a comprehensive, timely resource to help you be a Spirit-led servant of Jesus Christ and his church.

My Thoughts:
This was an interesting book. I like how the author gives his own perspective on leadership in the church. Prayer is a huge factor and I always say 'what can I do besides pray' and while it does feel that prayer isn't actually doing anything, prayer is a huge thing.
It was just really a thought provoking book for me. I guess I've always looked at church leadership as a part time thing that most preachers/pastors are supposed to do (or teachers for that matter). Leadership can be anyone in the church and we can all help.
It was a 4/5 for me.

WHY I WROTE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT

During my many years in the ministry I’ve tried to feed my leadership gift with books on leadership but I never bonded with them. They were so dry. Then never talked about being rich in God, how to get supernatural faith, have a dynamic prayer life or live in the power of the Spirit. I finally decided I just must not be a leader but only a “teacher.” During those years I “led” thousands to Christ and led thousands more into forgiveness and lessons in Christ-like maturity. Two years ago I began to pray earnestly that God would restore spiritual POWER to the American Church. Then to my surprise, God strongly impressed me to write a book on SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP and gave me the title and subtitle. The book gushed out of me in eight days of writing and I’ve spent the last year and a half perfecting the copy and getting the sixty plus drawings finished. This book has the leadership lessons the Holy Spirit personally taught me. They are not DRY. You’ll find God’s presence in this book. It will teach you how to be a great follower of the real LEADER of the church, the Holy Spirit.

ONE MORE THING: These lessons are for every Christian. We don’t need titles and positions to be spiritual leaders. Just desire to “lead many to righteousness” by being a great follower of the Holy Spirit. God will use YOU to bring “massive glory” to His name.
