Manz and Henry P. Sims, Jr.  They include a helpful summary of several leadership models, and end with a proposal for approaching leadership that sounds promising.  What is most interesting about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is true that we&#8217;re living in the &#8216;Age of Sabbath,&#8217; where spiritual rest and renewal happens daily. Still, it&#8217;s important to notice that Jesus observed the Sabbath in traditional ways by attending the synagogue and involving himself in the service.  Other times he revolutionized it to make clear that Sabbath was instituted so that [...]]]></description>
