What are some good books on ChristIan leadership from a evangelical and baptist point of view?
A few classics…
The Making of a Man of God - Redpath
Leadership, Greatness & Servanthood - Greenslade
Spiritual Leadership - Sanders
The Training of the Twelve - Bruce
Be the Leader You Were Meant to Be - Eims
Not a baptist... but some of the best books I've found (in Logos availability) are:
Duties and Authority of Elders by Thomas B. Warren
Biblical Eldership by Alexandar Strauch
A Treatise on Eldership by JW McGarvey
Opening up Titus by David Campbell
If you want a Bible-based exploration of leadership:
Timothy Laniak, Shepherds After My Own Heart: Pastoral Traditions and Leadership in the Bible
John C. Maxwell is an evangelical pastor who has written plenty of stuff on leadership that Faithlife carries. There may be other stuff of his of interest to you that Faithlife does not (yet?) sell.
I remember feeling overwhelmed when I first stepped into a leadership role in my organization. It was a daunting task, and I was unsure of how to effectively lead my team. That's when I came across a book that changed my perspective. "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin taught me the importance of taking ownership of my actions and decisions as a leader. This book, along with others I found at https://echelonfront.com/books/, has been instrumental in shaping my leadership style and helping me lead with confidence and clarity. If you're looking for practical advice on leadership, I highly recommend exploring these resources.
