LeRoy Eims was a leader with The Navigators—an international, interdenominational Christian ministry that helps people grow in Jesus Christ as they navigate through life—for over 50 years. He wrote several books, including Be the Leader You Were Meant to Be: Lessons on Leadership from the Bible. This one caught my eye, as I was browsing the bookshelves at Mardel one day, so I picked up the Kindle edition…and I’m glad I did.
Eims starts the book, noting that many of us feel insufficient for leadership roles. But he goes on to explain, “So it’s true that we must acknowledge our insufficiency, but it must not stop there. If it does, we are in trouble. We must go on to acknowledge the absolute adequacy and sufficiency of God to meet any test, to overcome any problem, and to win any victory… When we understand that God’s method of accomplishing His plan and purposes is people, we will begin to understand our role in the kingdom of God.”
