Publisher's Description
Although servanthood is often discussed as an important part of leadership, it is also the basic calling of every follower of Jesus Christ. Siang-Yang Tan takes a fresh approach to servanthood, exploring it as loving obedience to God in and of itself, regardless of personal greatness, fulfillment, or success. He lays out the biblical case and practical guidance to help all Christians live out their foundational call of being a servant of God in all areas of life. Tan's focus on servanthood alone--in contrast to the many books on servant-leadership--will appeal to pastors, church leaders, and all Christians interested in a biblical perspective on servanthood.

“This superb book on servanthood reflects the exceptional wisdom and the spiritual depth for which Dr. Tan has become known through his many years of preaching, counseling, and writing. If you want to know what it means to be truly a servant of Christ— the highest of all callings—this is the book for you. I recommend it enthusiastically!”
“Finally, the cart has been put back behind the horse! With his typical style that is scholarly, biblically based, and accessible, Siang-Yang Tan reminds us that Jesus’ call to servanthood is both primary and universal. Leadership is a secondary calling that is given to a few. Because the phrase ‘servant-leader’ may have the same ego appeal as ‘tither-tycoon’ to our fast-growth-oriented culture, it is timely to receive this gentle reminder from Dr. Tan that the secret of true servanthood is developing a friendship with Jesus.”
“Siang-Yang Tan is a prolific reader and thinker. In Full Service he distills the essence of an enormous amount of Christian thought on what mattered most to Jesus. I have benefited as a student, beginning writer, and friend from Siang-Yang’s servanthood. This book is an act of servanthood for you!”
“True service is close to the heart of all who are following hard after Jesus. For this reason I welcome Full Service by Siang-Yang Tan. Dr. Tan has wonderfully distilled and critiqued the vast literature on servanthood and leadership, and in addition, given us practical insights into how servanthood looks in daily life. Full Service is itself a genuine act of service.”
“The message of this book is biblical, balanced, and counter–cultural. But more so, it touches me deeply because of my personal relationship with Siang-Yang—he lives out what he writes in his personal life and ministry.”
