In the Name of Jesus

Are you trying to lead like Jesus, but find yourself chasing worldly success instead? Discover how to trade the temptations of power, popularity, and relevance for a truly Christ-like path of vulnerability, humility, and prayerful service that will transform your leadership and your life. Based on his own struggles, Henri Nouwen reveals the three core disciplines of Christian leadership. You'll learn how to move from a desire to be relevant to a practice of contemplative prayer, from popularity to personal ministry, and from leading with power to embracing vulnerability.

Henri J. M. Nouwen was a world-renowned spiritual writer and theologian who left a successful academic career at Harvard Divinity School to minister to people with disabilities. This profound shift from prestige to vulnerability informed his most powerful insights on Christian leadership. Nouwen’s journey from professor to pastor at L’Arche Daybreak community gave him the unique perspective shared in this book, emphasizing compassionate service over worldly power and influence.
