Buku Authority – Jonathan Leeman

 In  every position of power, from executives and world leaders to church  elders and parents, lies the potential for life-giving leadership or  destructive corruption. Driven by sinful pride or opportunism, many  people abuse their God-given influence, harming the ones they’re called  to lead and contributing to an intense angst against authority. The  answer to bad authority, however, is not no authority, but good  authority – the kind that, according to Scripture, causes those under it  to flourish.

In this compelling guide from 9Marks,  Jonathan Leeman shows that authority, done biblically, is not only good,  but is essential to human flourishing. Through Scripture and many  first-hand stories, he presents 5 attributes of positive authority and  warns against sinfulness that corrupts leadership. Pointing to Jesus as  the ultimate model of good authority, Leeman equips readers to pursue  godly influence in their personal and professional lives.
