Walking the Leadership Highway
Without Becoming Roadkill

by Jim Buchan

Using practical examples from his personal experiences in Christian ministry, Jim Buchan provides encouragement to leaders in their own journeys down the Leadership Highway.

The core of the book is Scripture, particularly the book of 2 Corinthians. Through a glimpse at the authors life, the great leadership principles exemplified by the apostle Paul come alive in their application to todays leaders.

Buchan describes the leaders calling, training, suffering, failures, temptations, vision, lifestyle, and joy. The inclusion of humorous and inspiring lessons from his own life keeps this book from becoming a theoretical treatise— readers will know that he has "been there."

Buchan does not dwell on the problems; he provides solutions and triumphs. He offers hope, even for leaders who face seemingly hopeless situations. The hope is not in finding a better theory or model for ministry; it is in getting to know God and learning Gods ways.

Jim Buchan has a writing and speaking ministry that takes him across the United States and to many foreign countries. His articles have appeared in more than 40 publications worldwide, and he offers seminars on such topics as leadership, healthy church life, and Christian writing. He has also served as a pastor in Ohio, an attorney, and the editor of Ministries Today magazine and The Morning Star Journal.
