“In the kingdom of God, if servanthood is beneath you, leadership is beyond you.”
The Church in the Western World is facing a leadership crisis. Tragic stories of scandal and abuse in recent years, alongside the reality that many churches are managing decline, have had a devastating impact on churches’ witness to their local communities.
And yet there is hope. For across the world right now a new breed of leaders are rising up. Holy, hungry and humble ones who have been shaped and formed in the hidden places are now finding their voice and leading the church into a fresh move of the Holy Spirit. These leaders have heard the cry at the heart of this book – to return to the cruciform way. Inspired by the first apostles who embodied the cross-shaped, sacrificial leadership of Jesus, the greatest leader who ever lived, they too believe the power of such radical obedience will literally change the world.

From the author of the raw and profound Luminous Dark comes this hard-hitting new book on biblical leadership in the Church. Our leaders should mimic the character and example of Jesus, who gives us a servant-hearted understanding of ministry, and the early apostles, in the ways they strove to lead the early church in unity and humility. With unapologetic sincerity, Alain lays bare the failings at the heart of the Church and points to the solution – cruciform leadership.
Our culture is experiencing a crisis of leadership just when we need it most. We elect braggards and bullies, put narcissists on pedestals then kick away the legs, nurse wounds of coercion – even (especially?) in the church – and in our pain resent and reject the very notion of leadership itself. In this timely book, a seasoned pastor depicts another kind of leadership, marked by the cross. Learning lessons from the greatest leader of all time, this is a message of healing and hope for those who aspire to lead with the counter-cultural humility and defiant kindness of Jesus. – Pete Grieg, founder of the 24-7 Prayer movement
