From blockbuster material, Rev. Buxton assembles 30 short chapters on key leadership traits—patience, vision, humility, integrity, openness, tenderness, forgiveness, courage, gratitude, self-control, surrender, perseverance, calmness, justice—and looks into how David, at different moments in his life, either exhibited the traits or catastrophically failed to achieve them.
The chapters are probing and conversational, with references from the worlds of literature, sports, politics and entertainment to illustrate how to apply these lessons to our everyday challenges.
