Do others look to you for leadership? Do you face a major task or shoulder heavy responsibilities? Do you want to take your leadership skills to a higher level? When Nehemiah confronted the task of rebuilding Jerusalem's wall, he was heartbroken by the damage he saw and nearly overwhelmed by the task that lay before him. Yet through the application of timeless leadership principles, Nehemiah completed this nearly impossible project, and laid a pattern for success which is just as valid for us today. Charles Swindoll brings his sensible and straightforward style to offer a deeply spiritual approach to the role of leader. Whatever the context, secular or ministerial, he demonstrates how to size up a task, organize and motivate a team, and respond to inevitable obstacles such as these: Unforeseen setbacks Unrelenting deadlines Criticism and outside resistance Personality conflicts Financial pressures and temptations The insights that Swindoll draws from Nehemiah's wise administration will change your approach to leadership forever. Review: Any leader or wanting to lead must read! - Great lessons! Lots of golden nuggets to take w me on my leadership journey. Nehemiah's leadership trajectory brought me closer to God and helped me ask for direction and look within myself to be a better leader at work. Highly recommend! Review: thought provoking - I loved this book. Made me think about my leadership. I will take much away from this and will reread it often.

Not for nails
Not that adorable my nails are long and I kept piercing it after second wearing. They would’ve been great if I had not long nails so I’m still giving it a decent mark.

great book on Nehemiah
This is one of those books you buy because you are studying the topic of the book in a grad school class, but you find out it is a great book to read. Used it to write a research paper on Nehemiah, but read it front to back because it was so good. My professor first said it was not scholarly enough for a source in my paper but I asked him to look through it and he changed his mind, and told me I could use it because it covered the assigned topic, leadership skills of Nehemiah, so well.

In-depth look at Nehemiah
It provides a good amount of depth to Nehemiah's story. It's an easy read with some nice real life examples. The main takeaway I received was to persevere through difficult times as a leader, to not be afraid of confrontation, and that even the harshest of leaders have their heart in God's control. Don't hate your boss. Pray to God instead.
