The world’s system is being shaken. Tenets of leadership considered benchmarks are undergoing reevaluation. One of the biggest challenges for Christian leaders, especially within the marketplace, is the balance between functioning in their own ability and yielding to God’s headship as leaders. For many, the acceptable inclination is blending their “natural abilities” and what has been gleaned from the world’s system, with an icing of polite ethics and a “praise the Lord.” Yet, the heroes of faith reversed the equation. Having heard from God, they harnessed their natural abilities to conform to and support an ongoing flow of direction and wisdom from the Lord. Everything else sprang from that. It is a higher standard. During turbulent times, it is back to basics. What endures is drawn from God’s truth. Leadership by Anointing uncovers the principles, pathways and models of biblical leadership in practice with God’s covenant people over the centuries.

Truly Leadership by Anointing is a book of discovery. My long time friend, Morris Ruddick, has done it again! Enjoy this beautifully woven tapestry of practical teaching impacted richly by his military and entrepreneurial background, as a biblical filet mignon that highlights successful Hebraic leadership. In a world offering yet one more method for “how –to leadership”, Morris clearly lays the “application for righteous power that has endured the ages” on our plate!

Author Morris Ruddick’s latest offering gives no mature Christian leader any excuse for missing God’s specific intent and model of leadership. While a plethora of today’s books on the same topic focus on man-made theories of leadership, Morris shows the reader chapter and verse in a biblically practical format of God’s plans and purposes for leadership that have never changed, and which yield the most fruit for those who choose to hear and obey them. This book is an excellent leadership guide, as defined by the oldest source of leadership and wisdom in the universe: the infallible, pure and absolute Word of God. IF you are a Christian leader looking for sound, godly mentoring, I highly recommend this and all of Morris Ruddick’s books for your personal growth, maturity and fruitful productivity.

About the Author:
Morris Ruddick's calling has been one of leadership for change. He was recently described by a long-time associate with these words: :Morris Ruddick heads several organizations and corporate entities, including Global Initiatives Foundation, The Ruddick Int’l Group, and a global intercession network. He has led development of entrepreneurial activities in critical needy areas and brought together business and ministry in several nations, including the Messianic Jewish community in Israel, as well as in Africa, Asia, Afghanistan, Belarus, Russia and other areas of need. “Mr. Ruddick’s Kingdom agendas reflect a unique merging of the secular and the spiritual. He sums it up as “an interlinking of secular business enterprises with overriding Kingdom objectives.” Since 1995, Mr. Ruddick has been a voice encouraging and mobilizing Kingdom leaders and entrepreneurs. The world is searching for the leadership “pizzazz” that fosters an edge. Deuteronomy 29 notes the secret things belong to the Lord. These secret things are captured in the stories of the heroes of faith and Jesus’ Kingdom message. They are the distinguishing mark of leadership by anointing.
