THE LEADERSHIP STYLE OF JESUS. Most believers are familiar with Jesus' recipe for leadership success: "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all." (Mark 10: 43-44) But when it comes to putting that into practice, many leaders are content to leave Jesus' advice on a dusty road in Galilee and follow society's leadership trends. Servant leadership-the kind of leadership Jesus practiced-is something that sets believers apart. The choice of whether to follow the leadership path to power, authority, and control or the road to humility and putting others first is an important one. Jesus cuts through the superfluous issues surrounding leadership and moves straight to the heart of the matter, addressing our motives and values, writes Dr. Rinehart. If you're ready to take your leadership to a new level by following Jesus' footsteps, Upside Down will challenge you to equip and liberate others to fulfill God's purposes for them in the world.

IT'S NOT JUST WHAT YOU BRING TO A GROUP THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE, IT'S WHAT YOU UNLOCK WHILE YOU'RE THERE. People remember far more of what they say and discover for themselves than what they are told by others. Perhaps that is why penetrating questions were such an integral part of Jesus' teaching style. The power of well-timed, skillfully formed questions cannot be overstated. They can mean the difference between an information exchange and a time of discovery; they can transform a gathering of acquaintances into a community of friends. In How to Ask Great Questions, you'll learn when and how to ask effective questions, and how to promote follow-up discussions that will lead from good thinking to life application. Ideal for small group leaders, Sunday school teachers, and anyone who regularly leads group discussion or committee meetings, How to Ask Great Questions will equip you to: build relationships between group members; help people analyze a passage of the Bible or other book; draw out opinions, feelings, and assumptions; bring discussions to greater levels of depth and focus; guide people in applying the Bible to their lives; and facilitate problem-solving and decision-making in group settings.
