Using Authority Well
Description
Accessible Guide from 9Marks Equips Men to Steward Their God-Given Authority
Every position of power-in homes, churches, and boardrooms-has the potential to strengthen people or to harm them. Bad leaders abuse their authority or abdicate it. And their actions breed distrust in authority generally. Yet what do godly authority and leadership look like-the kind that causes people to flourish?
Many men today have lost their bearings when it comes to leadership. In this condensed version of his book
Authority, Jonathan Leeman equips men to take hold of the authority they've received and responsibly steward it for the good of others.
Exploring the domains of marriage, fatherhood, church, and the workplace, he offers practical, Scripture-based advice for daily life. This accessible guide, perfect for men's groups, helps readers submit to God and gain biblical wisdom for their most important roles.

- Adapted from Jonathan Leeman's Book Authority: Features condensed content
