Читать книгу Faith, Leadership and Public Life - Preston Manning - Страница 2

“Few leaders know what it is to step onto a national stage to shape and sustain public opinion and action for a better democracy. Preston Manning has done that, not once but twice, through his leadership in creating political parties, which gave him voice as leader of the Official Opposition to the government of Canada. This book contains Preston Manning’s true-north wisdom and is essential reading for reflective leadership.”

—Lorna Dueck

“Preston Manning once again challenges people to wrestle with some big questions—this time, the linkage between faith, leadership, and politics—while making those questions and answers personal to each reader.”

—Dr. Colin Harbinson

International Director, StoneWorks Global Arts Initiative

“The worlds of religion and politics are going through a uniquely turbulent time ... or maybe not. Manning’s compelling insights from the Bible and his own experience will change your perspective.”

—Kevin Jenkins

President and CEO, World Vision International

“Preston’s use of storytelling keeps this potentially complex issue interesting and practical. A must-read for those who love politics or faith and want to understand how the two can work together seamlessly.”

—The Honourable Chuck Strahl, PC

Former Cabinet Minister and Member of the Parliament of Canada

“Manning’s new book connects Jesus to contemporary issues twenty centuries later. It also indicates why a native of Nazareth has a nominal following today of over a billion persons after a public career of only 36 months.”

—The Honourable David Kilgour, PC

Former Cabinet Minister and Member of the Parliament of Canada

“This book is replete with wise biblical insight into the most acute challenges of contemporary leadership. It offers a veritable feast to those many believers seeking to follow Christ in the public marketplace and searching for substantial practical help. Preston Manning skillfully narrates a delightfully human and insightful dialogue between his own substantial experience and the rich biblical stories of leaders like David, Moses, Daniel, Esther, and, of course, Jesus himself. He pulls off a marvellous blend of theological insight and practical application that would put most preachers to shame.

I have disagreed sharply with Preston Manning when he told me he was not a theologian. I answered that if anyone could do theology in the world of public leadership, it was him. This book provides all the evidence I need to win that argument!”

—Dr. Paul Williams

CEO, British and Foreign Bible Society
