Publisher's Description
This engaging text examines the complex interface that exists between a Christian's faith commitments on the one hand and the exercise of his or her responsibilities as a manager or nominal leader on the other. In doing so, it brings the wisdom of the world concerning management and leadership into conversation with the wisdom of the Beatitudes proclaimed in Matthew's Gospel.

“Lowery has provided an excellent, engaging conversation between management theory and the key Christian values of the Beatitudes. This book will be very relevant for those who strive to integrate the best of both worlds as Christian leaders in any organization.”
“Interested in taking servant leadership to the next level and living an integrated, authentic life? If so, Lowery’s new book is for you. Lowery masterfully shares compelling principles and conceptual frameworks from the finest leaders, managers, and spiritual practitioners of the last two thousand years. He creatively advances the moral virtues of the Beatitudes as the best path forward for navigating today’s complex world.”
“Lowery’s work explores several layers of his question ‘Can aspiring disciples of Jesus serve in management positions in the secular world and still remain faithful?’ Multidisciplinary in scope, carefully argued, and clearly applicable to the daily dilemmas faced by Christians in management roles, Lowery posits virtue as the foundation of true leadership. Christians who believe in the power and promise of values-based leadership and seek a framework for sensemaking will find this book a rich and rewarding journey.”
