Shepherding God's People: Leadership, Authority, and Service in the Local Church, and the Way of Christ presents a biblically grounded and theologically informed vision of leadership rooted in the New Testament. The book argues that church leadership is a sacred stewardship under the lordship of Christ, not a managerial or hierarchical system borrowed from secular models. It explores the nature and purpose of the local church, the authority of Scripture, and the complementary roles of elders, deacons, evangelists, ministers, and teachers. Emphasising servant leadership, moral integrity, and spiritual maturity, the work highlights the importance of Christ-centred authority, congregational accountability, and faithful leadership development. Written with both academic rigour and pastoral concern, the book calls church leaders to embody humility, integrity, and obedience to Scripture in guiding God's people.
