Miller, Paul
The Heart of a Servant Leader: Letters from Jack Miller (Miller)
These pastoral letters serve as models of compassionate leadership. Jack Miller taught that a Christian leader should be the chief servant, and that right attitudes come only from a heart changed by an encounter with God. Miller leads his reader into a deeper understanding of the gospel and a life of humility, faith, and prayer.
Miller gently challenges those called to serve as leaders to find their primary motivation in the glory of God alone.
