Description
Teens may feel too young or insecure to be a leader. However, Pointer and Roysden want teens to realize they can be leaders now. Truth & Peace Leader offers great insight into the five components that are part of biblical leadership. They are: identity, service, development, ethics, and influence. Each chapter is divided into the following sections: knowledge, attitude, and practice. The authors offer examples of great leadership and practical ways to live out leadership no matter what age. This material comes from the training offered each summer at the Truth & Peace Conference. Now it’s available to more students through this work.
