Leading With Eternity in Mind: The Tension of Now vs. Next
This book is not about escapism from present realities, nor is it about ignoring eternal truths in favor of short-term gains. Rather, it is about leading with both feet planted in the present, while our hearts are in eternity. It's about navigating paradoxes with faith, courage, and a willingness to live in God's timing.
Read the following excerpts:
"Our belief in the spiritual dimension should be the defining factor of
Christian leaders. It sets us apart from the secular humanism that is so
prevalent in our society. That's why this book advocates that we have
an integrated life. We cannot compartmentalize our professional life
from our spiritual life. If we do that, we are denying the very power
that should fuel our leadership."
"Living in the tension between the now and next is critical in helping us
to face hardship, disappointment, and failure, because we recognize
that all these things are temporary experiences and do not define us as
people. Rather, we are defined by who we are still going to become and
not by our successes or failures as leaders. Recognizing that we are not
defined by the now means that we will not be overly concerned with
our reputation. It also enables us to stand strong, even in the face of
criticism, rejection, and persecution."
