Wonderfully Biblical
In short simple thoughts, Mr. Seybert has spoken volumes on Leadership. Refreshing to see clear biblical truths interwoven into each application.

Christian leadership reexamined
You know, I am not a big fan of leadership books. Most that I have looked at over the years offered prescribed methods, "21 Steps" or "17 Laws". These are good for some and I salute those who have found value in them, but they're just not me. This book was a quick read, which is good, because it's one that should be read over and over. With a huge dose of pragmatism and lots of simple ideas and tips that could really affect a positive change in any organization, Jim really equips leaders with actionable tools and exercises to go beyond the book.

Although it didn't take long to read LR, the book isn't through once the last page is turned. Jim will be the first to tell you that he is not an "answer guy" and I was glad that this book did not offer pat answers or sure-fire formulas, instead it served up plenty of questions - questions that lead the reader to search themselves and to seek the Lord to find out what needs to change in them in order to be who they are supposed to be, in whatever leadership role they are in.

Finally, something I appreciated most about this book is that Jim didn't eviscerate scripture in an attempt to make his point. I only found one instance where he "stretched" the meaning of a particular passage, but he was clear to point out that he was doing so. In all other instances I was amazed at the truths of scripture as they apply to this topic of leadership and our need to correct our understanding of what that term really means and the implications we can realize when we really allow God's leadership principles to realign our leadership practices. I highly recommend this book, it's one you'll want to keep handy.

Leadership Through a New Lens
Jim Seybert's new book, Leadership Re:Vision, is a breath of fresh air. Jim uses his down to earth, common sense style to take a new, focused look at leadership.

Each chapter is broken up into three sections that make it easy to digest and gives you the clear message based on scripture and the decades of leadership Jim has experienced.

It's a great read for any leader, whether you're in a business, non-profit or mission organization.
