21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
I hate when books simply repackage truths and resell them but, like it or not, this book is a tremendous repackage of all the writings of the people that inspired John Maxwell’s leadership training. A must read for simple, practical, leadership truths.

It is easy to read but edgy as Cymbala urges Christians to abandon their comfort zones in favor of the unpredictable leadings of the Spirit. He challenges modern worship models that have Christians everywhere convinced that worship must be entertaining and inoffensive.
