As a longtime church leader and pastor, the author understands the importance of leadership. In addition of being a pastor, the author is also an award-winning artist. In painting wildlife, he loves to paint beautiful birds and flowers. Among all the birds he loves to paint, the bald eagle is at the top of his list. He found out that bald eagles always fly high and alone, unlike other birds (like the sparrows) in big noisy, chattering flocks.Looking further looking into the life of a bald eagle, the author has identified many qualities that can be applied to Christian leadership:being a visionary (seeing things before they happen)being patient in waiting upon the Lordspending time alone with Godhaving courage to face the stormmanaging your own household wellbeing able to train the younger generationseeking to renew your own strengthYou may be surprised so much can be learned from the bald eagle, the national emblem of United States of America. This book is a refreshing read among many other books about Christian leadership.

While serving as the pastor, the author found it was a challenging task to have a sermon prepared for every Sunday. Therefore, among all his sermon materials, he selected 52 sermon outlines, hoping they might be helpful for both pastors and lay-persons as well.Here is a disclaimer of the originality : The author has milked many cows, but he churns his own butter. An outline is just the skeleton of a sermon. It is the skill of attaching meat to the bones and also whatever spices be added to make a tasty meal. The author hopes from these mere outlines would come many life-changing and touching sermons that would bring glory to God.
