Spiritual Leadership in The Pattern of Gideon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798832754697)

When we are first introduced to Gideon, we see a faint-hearted grain farmer sneaking around like a coward hiding in a winepress. He was the most unlikely of potential candidates for spiritual leadership.

What kind of people does God choose and use to do His work?

Throughout Scripture, we see unnervingly real men and women who faltered, struggled, and at times, fell short. In the words of John MacArthur, God worked through them in surprising and incredible ways to accomplish His purposes. Scripture does not hide their weaknesses, caricature their strengths, or spin their stories as a display of human nobility. Instead, it describes these leaders of God's people with unflinching honesty and delivers an unexpected ending: "God is not ashamed to be called their God" (Hebrews 11:16).

In Spiritual Leadership in the Pattern of Gideon, Pastor Theodore Andoseh takes us back to see the times, call, ordination, work, and perils of leadership in the life of Gideon-a weak man made strong. In doing so, it becomes clear how his story applies in our days to anyone who aspire to emerge as a leader of God's people.

• what did Gideon do to qualify for leadership?
• what did he do as a leader?
• what was involved in his leadership?
