With the holidays upon us, I want to start sharing about something very exciting that is coming in January 2018. My newest book, The Humility Factor, is the published form of my doctoral project just completed. Over the next six weeks I will be sharing excerpts with you that hopefully will compel you to pick up your own copy when it is released in January. Here is a general description.
The Humility Factor by Dr. John Plastow
Healthy churches are led by humble pastors, and let’s face it, in this culture of self-promotion, inflated egos, and celebrity status-seeking, humble is just not sexy. In John’s newest book, he introduces the concept of humble intelligence as the result of the humility factor, which consists of seven attributes of humility modeled by Jesus Christ in word and deed. Through this book you will learn about the practical application of the seven attributes of the humility factor, which are compassion, sacrificial service, openness, brokenness, self-awareness, forgiveness, and gratitude. When humble intelligence is applied to any leadership style, it improves it because the leader leads more like Jesus led. Designed to specifically assist church lay leaders in the process of hiring a new lead pastor, it is also an excellent resource for church staff teams and the congregation members whom they serve because the attributes of Jesus can be applied to anyone who leads in their church, organization, or family.
Make sure you read my blogs from now to the release as I will give you a great taste of the book, which will apply to all kinds of leaders.
Lead well.
