Publisher's Synopsis
Are you a leader in a Christian organization? Is your church, ministry, or business lacking innovation? Perhaps you're experienced in trying new things and moving in new ways, but you haven't ever tried anything strange. Truly innovative leaders are often considered strange. Don't settle for everyday leadership; immerse yourself in Strange Leadership! Greg gives 40 different ways the Bible teaches us to be strange leaders. Greg pulls from Scripture to illuminate these concepts and, from the words and writings of other leaders, to drive them home. Strange Leadership is practically an encyclopedia on the subject of innovation. Foreword by Mark Batterson --------------- Because leadership in Jesus' upside-down Kingdom is so different and distinct from the world, it is "strange leadership." In his book, Greg offers practical and helpful thoughts on leading others as one under the rule of God. -Eric Geiger, author and Vice President LifeWay Thanks Greg for pointing us back to our true source for innovation and inspiration. -Brad Lomenick, author, consultant, former president of Catalyst One of the best ways to stay innovative is to listen to and learn from those who model biblical innovation every day, like my friend Greg Atkinson. -Nelson Searcy, author, pastor, and founder of ChurchLeaderInsights.com Strange Leadership is an engrossing and enchanting collection of probes into the emerging field of innovation studies. It is filled with firecrackers, and sometimes even fireworks. -Leonard Sweet, author and professor I applaud Greg's call for leaders who are prayerful listeners to the often-risky voice of the Holy Spirit, and courageous enough to act on those whispers. -Nancy Beach, author and leadership coach This is a great Biblical view of innovation and something I hope church leaders will cherish for years to come. -Dr. Johnny Hunt, pastor and formerpPresident of the Southern Baptist Convention I hope you'll check out Strange Leadership, because when we make following Jesus our goal, innovation will come naturally. -Greg Surratt, author, pastor, and president of ARC Greg will help you think through your unique situation and the unique triggers and circumstances that God may be using to lead you and your team into the next stage of innovation and growth. -Larry Osborne, author and pastor
