Since you are already a leader of somebody, do you need to be a great leader?

Every effective human being is a leader at one point or another in life. I have heard that Nehemiah was one of the greatest leaders ever. I became interested in how he began. What did he do first?

A Prayer of Nehemiah, The Birth of Leadership
is a look at his starting point. I'm sharing this with you as a Kindle book on Amazon.com.

Since you are already a leader of somebody, do you need to be a great leader?

Assuming a role of leadership can be challenging. We face all kinds of problems when we step out to lead. The struggles a leader faces are human problems that have not changed over the centuries of history.

Nehemiah, a cupbearer for a Persian king more than 400 years before Christ was born, led a company of his people from Babylon to Jerusalem, where he restored the walls and civil authority. Where his country once existed, he found ruins. His challenge was for him a great one.

This man Nehemiah has been studied and admired through the centuries as an example of a great leader. In his writing he admitted his human frailties and told how he coped.

A Prayer of Nehemiah is an informal conversation about the first prayer Nehemiah wrote in his book. His starting point is surprising but effective.

If you are ready to develop your leadership skills, read this little book. It is not necessary to buy a Kindle to read Kindle books. Simply download the software onto your computer.

Do You Know How God Loves You?: Successful Daily Living" is a book of 366 daily devotional readings.

I wrote this book as a Christmas gift for my daughter, who asked me to select her a daily devotional book. What began as a private project has become one way to carry out the Great Commission. I thank God that any people are following it. The reactions have been both encouraging and humbling.

When people tell me they are reading the book I'm moved to tears. People are reading it in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Australia. What a blessing it is to be able to follow Christ's command to go throughout the world and tell people about him!

My dear friend Karlosheldon Cifuentes of Temuco, Chile, reads it each day. He said:

Do you know How God loves you? has been such a great book for me to understand How much God loves me. Every night, when I lay on my bed to read a new devotional, God teaches me something new and shows me also amazing things about him. The most important thing is that everything I have read from this book contains a biblical foundation. That makes it complete interesting. In fact, Do you know how God loves You? has shown me amazingly how to grow in God. It helps every Christian to get closer to God. The book contains material that helps everyone to know more about our almighty God. I really enjoy reading this book, because I can feel God teaching me new stuffs about him.
