Heroic Leadership

Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.

I always deeply appreciate a book or a speaker who is able to connect the Christian worldview with the world we live in.  When it comes to leadership theory, that does not always happen.  But with the book, Heroic Leadership, Mark Lowney has shown how the practices of the Jesuits, a 450 year old company in his terms, lead them to great success both corporately and individually.

In many ways the book reads like one you might pick up that was written from a corporate point of view, but this book focuses on the spiritual disciplines and lifestyles of the Jesuits as they expanded across the globe.  It underscores the truth that a life wholly dedicated to God and deliberately focused on Him can make a profound difference in this world.  Long before the benefits of modern technology or travel, these dedicated and faithful people turned the world upside down.  What might we do today if we reengaged life with their kinds of priorities?
