The Good Book on Leadership

Case Studies from the Bible

by John Borek, Danny Lovett and Elmer Towns

The Bible is replete with leaders—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and they all have a lesson to teach. However, a closer examination of these personalities reveals much about the character of leadership.

The Good Book on Leadership examines these leaders on a case-by-case basis to unveil the biblical models for leadership. These models apply not just to pastors but also to business, sports, overnment, and even the military. God’s Word provides us with what we need to know—for any situation—to provide godly leadership and guidance.

No one can deny the anointing of God on the life and ministry of Dr. Danny Lovett. He has become one of the leading adult and youth revivalists of our day. Coming from a dynamic ministry as senior pastor of Open Door Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Dr. Lovett exploded onto the campus of Liberty University in July of 1993 with his shout, "Jesus is what? Jesus is Awesome!"

Dr. Lovett is Founder and President of Jesus Is Awesome Ministries, a ministry to pastors, churches, and associations in the United States and abroad. J.I.A. Ministries also funds scholarships for students enrolled at Tennessee Temple University and Temple Baptist Seminary which help pay the tuition for God-called men and women to pursue the education that will equip them for their ministry.

Today, Dr. Lovett serves as Co-Pastor of Highland Park Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee. His passion to train the next generation of pastors, missionaries, church workers, and evangelists inspired him to design a training ground offering hands-on experience for some of the brightest and most committed young people in America.

Danny is married to Dr. Susan Lovett, Vice-President of Academic Services at Tennessee Temple University. They have three children, Eric, Mary and Stephanie.
