Book Review- Compassionate Leadership by Ted Engstrom and Paul Cedar

This book published in 2006 includes some of the previous published works of Engstrom and Cedar. Based on the example of Christ as servant-leader, the authors attempt to encourage young leaders to follow Christ's model in relating to as well as leading people.

The book contains significant portions of leadership advice that could be found in any number of other works. In many instances, the authors draw from Scripture to provide biblical examples, much from the life of Christ. However, the book is often very broad in nature and attempts to coverage a wide range of information but none of it in significant detail. Additionally, at times the book becomes somewhat repetitive.

While I would love to recommend this book and following the example of Christ is certainly my goal, this book is only average at best.
