5 Books Christian Leaders Should Read In September 2024

Christian leaders have a responsibility to more than themselves or their teams. Their true responsibility lies in living out a Christ-like existence. This can be hard when we have a world telling us to pursue worldly success but not Godly success.

Our lives are about more than money, fame, and even legacy. Our lives should be about Christ and sharing his love, joy, and words.

How do we do that? Why do we do it? How do we get to know Him more?

In this month’s edition of Books To Read, we’ll examine five books that will help Christian leaders become better leaders and people. Are you ready?

1. Thinking At The Speed Of Bias: How To Shift Our Unconcious Filters by Sara Taylor:

5 Leadership Books To Read In June 2024

These lists are here to introduce you to new ideas, authors, and books to help you become a better leader.

It’s hard to argue that a good book can be as helpful as attending a seminar, chatting with another leader, or listening to audio content. The books on this month’s list will be an encouragement to you and help you grow professionally and personally.

Both of these people have one thing in common: They know the power a book has to change your life. 

Every book you pick up will open a door into the world of someone who has been there and done that. Their experiences are there for you to learn and grow from. So, what’s stopping you from picking up a great book?  Read more...
