Society today reinforces success as being first -- in sports, in business, and in life. Jeremy Kingsley, an itinerant speaker, believer and follower of Christ, and friend has recently published a book entitled - Be Last: Descending into Greatness. The book is a compelling challenge to the world view of our day and uses the life and teachings of Christ along with Bible stories and practical examples of the dangers of putting yourself first and a challenge to a life of being last. It's an easy but challenging read -- a great step to servant leadership.
Note: Reached #10 on Amazon's Best Sellers List under "Christian Living" and #3 on Amazon's Hot New Releases under "Christian Living".
My favorite chapter discussed what amazes Jesus. It really made me think -- Have I done things in my life that have amazed Jesus? Have I done things that have left him bewildered.
I'll join Jeremy as he states in the introduction ... I hope [my life] makes Jesus smile!
Awesome! After you read it, if you don't mind, rate it and leave a comment on Amazon! Jeremy will be speaking at Gateway on June 22: Be First or Be Last (A message on The Prodigal Son).
