When I think about John and Wayne, two important qualities of leadership stand above the rest: they listen and they take risks. These qualities have enabled them to become great friends and partners and to make a difference for thousands—if not millions—of people. These guys know leadership, and I know that reading this book will make a difference in your life.

While most of Christian leadership material originates in the context of suburban, middle-class realities, these two ministry pioneers share hard-earned leadership lessons from the context of under-resourced communities that will equip thousands of Christian Community Development practitioners and leaders throughout the nation.

I have known John and Wayne for more than three decades. They take servant leadership to a level I have rarely seen demonstrated. Their book is packed full of practical counsel for leaders. I loved it!

John Perkins teaches us about Moses. Wayne Gordon teaches us about Nehemiah. Both of them teach us about Jesus. The principle of servant leadership is universal. Leadership Revolution is an excellent book that will be very helpful to me in my ministry.
