followerfirst: Rethinking Leading in the Church - Second Edition

The second edition of followerfirst continues the biblical argument for embracing the followerfirst perspective as a key to fulfilling the church's mission. With even more clarity Dr. Ricketson presents biblical evidence that (1) Jesus was the greatest follower who ever lived and established His church to be follower-focused rather than leader-centered, (2) Operating with a followerfirst perspective has the potential of increasing greater participation and cooperation while reducing conflict and struggles over power and position.

Written from a follower's perspective, followerfirst presents biblical, theoretical, and practical guidelines necessary to mobilize church members to fulfill their God-given responsibilities as followers of Christ.
