Follow the downward path of the cross
What does it mean to lead from a position of humility, calling, and service? In Leading from Below, Bill Taylor shares insights learned from six decades of cross-cultural ministry. This narrative theology combines elements of autobiography, theological insight, and practical guidance where leadership lessons emerge more from the crucible of life rather than books, podcasts, or seminars.
Taylor’s honest stories reflect vulnerability but also the strength to live into the sometimes painful, often inscrutable promises of God. He reflects on his Third Culture Kid life, grapples with the slippery slogans of missions, encounters the Holy Spirit in new dimensions of presence and power, and seeks to make sense of the many mistakes he made. He concludes with a series of reflections on leadership and finishing well.
Leading from Below is both inspirational and instructive. It is designed to encourage and equip leaders with a framework of leading with integrity and a Christ-centered perspective.
