Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The premier ancient story of leadership comes from Nehemiah, the Israeli, who rose to leadership while captive in Persia. There, learning of his demoralized countrymen and the demise of his beloved city Jerusalem, he crafted a plan, convinced the Persian king, raised the needed assets, recruited builders, and rebuilt the wall. While rebuilding the wall was the task at hand, the goal was rebuilding the people of God.

This model has been a guide and inspiration for Stiller in his various roles in leadership. He identifies 7 principles on building and renewing ministries and organizations, surrounding these principles with workable concepts connected to inspiring stories of faith. Drawing on a lifetime of leadership, he writes about challenges leaders face. You will see how, through the life of Nehemiah, one can move from an idea to effective completion.

The freshness of Stiller’s stories and the clarity of his counsel come from his real-life experiences. Skillfully he applies the principles he has observed in Nehemiah to what it takes to lead in the 21st Century. For him, leadership is not for the fainthearted, but he finds in Nehemiah a model as we frame our leadership roles today.
