TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 1, 2026 / Authors Tim Sotos, Paul Copan, and Larry N. Willard offer a distinct look at a Scripture-shaped Christian leadership model aimed at emerging leaders in every generation.
Leadership depends not only on skills but on the virtues and qualities beneath them.
We live in a time when influence has never been easier to gain-and easier to lose. As a culture increasingly marked by confusion, division, and a growing crisis of trust, many have come to recognize that our world does not need more influential personalities, but leaders of character-leaders formed from the inside out.
It is not only leadership skills, but leadership formation that has never been more needed. Christian Leadership Values for a New Generation equips the next generation of leaders to cultivate those exact virtues that will sustain lasting influence. Drawing from Scripture, history, and decades of personal leadership experience, Tim Sotos, Paul Copan, and Larry N. Willard reveal how God forms leaders through courage, integrity, wisdom, and faith.
Readers will discover how God shapes leaders from the inside out-prioritizing character before competence, calling before influence, and faithfulness before success. This book offers practical insight, biblical examples, and timeless principles to help emerging leaders apply Scripture to modern challenges, cultivate a character-first approach, and grow in trust and influence.
Whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time or seeking to deepen your impact, this book will help you become not only a better leader but the kind of leader others trust-the kind God desires to use. The world needs leaders of character, not just talented personalities.
