Praise for Leadership Lessons From THE BOOK

 

"Bill has drawn on years of effective leadership consulting to produce a book full of rich biblical insights coupled with practical tools and suggestions so you can implement what you learn. Clearly written by someone who knows what he's talking about."

─ Richard Blackaby, PhD, President of Blackaby Ministries International

 

 

“Bill is a very accomplished business leader who has studied these topics extensively. He does continual research and the presentation of his years of work and research are worth reading! The topics are as old as creation itself but his fresh approach is a treasure you will want to uncover.”

─ Dave Rae, Chief Operating Officer of Crown Financial Ministries

 

 

“The greatest lack among Christian leaders, including business leaders, is the lack of understanding of the scriptures and their application to everyday leadership issues. The Bible is the handbook that tells how the Kingdom of God works and leaders will lead inadequately if they are not leading through biblical principles. They must also have a strong prayer life to be strong leaders. Bill has addressed both these issues very well in this timely book. It is much needed if Christian leaders are to lead effectively for God's Kingdom, especially in the marketplace."

─ William M. Moeny, President of Tetra Corporation

 

 

“Bill Bliss has put his finger on the very pulse of leadership. No matter how many books you have read on this subject, your learning will not be complete until you have read this book!”

─ Joe Pellegrino, Publisher of Life & Leisure Newspapers

─ Jason Wilson, Executive Pastor of NewSpring Community Church

 

 

“As a leader, I discovered the Bible as the best manual for business, leadership, family, and life. Bill's insights are so unique because as a Leadership Coach he has seen it all first hand: the potential, pressure, and complexity of leadership – and the joy of studying the Bible. Bill's book offers a truly inspiring and practical perspective. It will be one of those which I pick up again and again in order to improve my effectiveness. “

─ Daniel Hoster, Managing Director, Deutsche Bank AG

─ Doug Hunter, President and CEO of Fellowship of Companies for Christ International / Christ@Work

 

 

“Bill Bliss is a devoted Christian brother with an excellent organizational development background and a calling to help leaders develop Christ-honoring careers and enterprises.  His refreshing and straightforward focus helps Christian leaders to better see our 24/7 holy calling – as disciples, stewards, ambassadors and servants in Jesus’ name – and is on target for those finding themselves providentially entrusted with the helm of an organization.  Bill combines numerous biblical examples with contemporary business ‘best practices’ to help Christian leaders maximize their eternal impact in building successful, God-honoring enterprises that minister well to their many stakeholders.”

─ Don Barefoot, AfC, President and CEO of The C12 Group

 

 

“Bill has done a great job in bringing a practitioner's look into the question of leadership development and servant leadership from a biblical perspective.  These chapters are full of very practical tools to help you with personal and team assessments.  I am confident that you will find real added value in increasing the leadership level in your company through the use of these tools.”

 ─ Jeffrey Moore, PhD, Associate Professor of Business Administration of Southern Wesleyan University

 

"Are you looking for practical biblical direction as you lead your organization?  Bill Bliss has provided clear direction for hundreds of CEOs and helped them to communicate their vision.  In this book, Bill uses the examples of Jesus, Nehemiah, Peter, and others to give us practical biblical counsel.  Bill has been a tremendous help to our organization, our members, and hundreds of other business owners.  His trusted experience and wisdom is now available for you in this book."

“In my years of ministry, I’ve never met a Christian in the marketplace who didn’t want to understand better how God’s Word related to their role at work. Yet I’ve seen few solid tools to help us – until now. In this book, Bill joins his deep experience in business consulting with a passion for pleasing Christ by following His Word. This book is practical, biblical, and real. If you want to walk with God at work, you should read and heed every chapter.”

─ Ken MacGillivray, Pastor of Hopevale Church

 

 

“Bill has succinctly captured the essence of what it takes to be a great leader.  Not a great leader in the sense of the one with the most toys wins or the one with the biggest bank account and biggest everything else is the best.  A great leader in the sense of one who lives their life knowing that when it’s all over they have left far more on this earth than they took for the good of others and the glory of God.  This book takes key biblical principles of leadership and puts them in one place.  A great resource for anyone who wants to lead the right way. Bill hits the nail on the head with his chapter on Setting Expectations.  He shows how clear God sets His expectations for us and then marries this concept to the world of today’s leaders.  I’m sold on his advice and will take immediate action by completing his suggested steps.”

─ Gary Williams, President of Coakley & Williams Hotel Management Company

 

 

“This is the most complete, inclusive and all encompassing roadmap of visioning that I have found.  Not only is the vision-setting process made thoroughly clear, it explains the approach, guidelines and diplomacy necessary to position a vision for life-changing impact.”  

─ Kip Miller, President and CEO of Eastern Industrial Supply

 

 

“Bill combines biblical wisdom, with his own practical experience to deliver useful, practical instruction. As I read the chapter on communication, I found myself saying, ‘yes, that's right – I knew that’ and at the same time realizing that I needed to use Bill's instruction as a road map to improve my own communication skills.”

─ Charles Wall, Vice President and Regional Manager of Commercial Metals Company

 

 

"In Leadership Lessons From THE BOOK, Bill gives dynamic leadership lessons rooted in God's word.  He also provides the very practical and necessary steps for the application of these lessons for today's leader.  This book is an important tool for us in our business, and I recommend it for any leader looking to grow personally and honor God in his or her organization.  Thank you, Bill!"

─ Lee Mitchell, President of Applied Catalysts, Inc.
