Description
Summary:As we seek to develop an authentic approach to leadership within our society, Matthew offers us profound insights about the nature of leadership within the Christian community.

Consequently, the disciple and Christian leader who is called into a life-long relationship with Jesus, like Jesus, becomes a social critic and bearer of wisdom.
