Servant of All: Reframing Greatness and Leadership through the Teachings of Jesus
2020 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist for Ministry Resources.

What did Jesus really mean when he said, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, the servant of all" (Mark 9:35)?

Servant leadership is commended by popular leadership writers and scholars. However, much of the practical, theoretical, and even theological commentary on servant leadership doesn't do the Bible justice. It fails to account for the context and history of interpretation around this often-quoted saying of Jesus. This context has everything to do with a truly biblical understanding of servant leadership, and that's what Servant of All unfolds.

In a culture where greatness is often confused with fame or competence, Servant of All is a much-needed correction.

This useful guide includes personal and group reflection questions, ideal for ministry training and discipleship.
