What the Bible's Worst Rulers Can Teach You About Leading Well
Tyrants show up everywhere. In the workplace. In the pulpit. At home. And if we're honest, in our own hearts. In a culture that rewards charisma and results over character, how can Christians lead with honesty, humility, and virtue?

How (Not) to Be a Tyrant turns to ten of the Bible's most infamous rulers for guidance--showing us what not to do. From Pharaoh's greed to Pilate's cowardice, each chapter contrasts a scriptural example of destructive power with Jesus's radically different way of leading with integrity, mercy, and sacrificial love. This book will help you

● identify and eliminate unhealthy habits,
● apply Scripture to your everyday life, and
● develop Jesus's leadership qualities.

Short and practical, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to exert positive influence at work, at home, and in the world.
