Leadership in the Wesleyan Spirit Lovett H Weems Jr 9780687046928 Books Reviews

• Another great book
• Leadership in the Wesleyan Spirit
  This book is informative and meets the needs of the class I'm taking at Claremont School of Theology.
• Lovett Weems has written a helpful book for leaders who have become frustrated with the authoritarian models of some traditional religious/business writers and/orthose who have become frustrated with the mantra of "if we just go back to...then it will be all right." One might suspect the later from the title of this book, but that is far from his approach. Weems shows that leadership in the Wesleyan spirit is not rote aplication of Wesleys writings and work to conemporary situations. He posits a hermeneutic move whereby we apply the broad general principles of the Wesleyan movement in the context of contemporary society. Generally useful to students of both leadership and Wesley studies. Highly reccomend
• Superbly written. As relevant today as when first published, or even when Wesley himself first writing. Weems has a broad knowledge of history, the contect of ministry in the local church, and contemporary culture, and offers this as a beautiful gift at the intersection of all three. Reads lightly, but every page contains a quote worth capturing.
• I found Dr. Weems explanation of Wesleyan leadership incredibly on target for the needs this century is bringing us.
  I was inspired and given a huge helping of food for thought. Ideas that I have never encountered in any other leadership or Wesleyan books. Plus its a fantastic source of interesting and powerful stories and illustrations.
  Dr. Weems might be a leadership genius for our generation. One dissappointment I had was that he did get bogged down in an academic catch 22. But that was only once.
  I strongly recommend this book for all leaders, secular and nonprofit organizations.
• An excellent read. Full of on time information on Biblical leadership.
• Service was timely and good. Book was in excellent condition. The transaction was very good. I would use this seller again.
• using this book for seminary class
