(Foreword by Lewis A. Drummond) "I highly recommend this book to all serious students of leadership!" —John C. Maxwell, Founder of the INJOY Group
Charles Haddon Spurgeon pastored the first mega-church, began a college to train pastors, founded an orphanage, supported countless charitable organizations, and could communicate with prime ministers and common people alike. His leadership style and innovations provide a challenging model for leaders today.
