Christian leaders often find themselves managing work from a base of extensive training in spiritual and theological matters. But they have little solid training in management principles and practices. Or they have training adopted wholly from the secular business world despite its inconsistency with the principles of God's Word. Neither situation will do, and both have at times proved disastrous. Now, from a committed Christian with long experience in management training and consultations, comes timely and biblical help on such critical management issues as: Creating a productive work environment; delegating responsibility; making decisions and solving problems; communicating effectively in the workplace; nurturing good working relationships; planning in harmony with God's will; escaping the trap of tradition; managing time; making the performance evaluation worthwhile. In all these areas and more, Myron Rush gives helpful counsel while faithfully setting forth the biblical priority of people as God's most valuable resource. If you are called of God to lead and manage others, you need the principles of "Management: A Biblical Approach."
