Letters to Leaders

Leadership can be a coveted position. Some want the power. For others, they are drawn to the popularity or the prestige. In Letters to Leaders, John and Eleanor Mumford, a couple with a lifetime of international leadership experience, explain how this glamorous view of leadership couldn’t be further from the truth. Unfolding the pages of the Apostle Paul’s biblical letters afresh, John and Eleanor offer timely insights into what it truly means to be leaders: from the calling and the criteria, to the priorities and characteristics. Drawing on their extensive experience as senior leaders in the Vineyard Church, the Mumford's encourage you to embrace the beautiful struggle of being a leader in God’s ‘upside-down’ Kingdom, becoming what Paul himself claimed in 1 Corinthians to be: ‘the scum of the Earth’.
